Our latest release with Sandy Kerr is another step in our mission to brew sessionable beers which carry both the drinkability sought after in the style whilst still packing that level of mouthfeel and flavour intensity that is lesscommonly found in such beers.
This pale ale has a base of super pale British barley alongside a good percentage of Vienna malt, a brewery favourite for its light biscuit malt flavour and the depth it brings to every beer we use it in. Alongside this was added plenty of malted and flaked oats, great for rounding out the mouthfeel and bringing the silkiness associated with a bigger NE IPA. One last addition to the base beer was a few bags of maltodextrin, a unfermentable starch-derived sugar.
We felt we had the perfect wort for the job and next came some hopping to match. We went with a massive 24g/l dry hop made up of some classics: everyone’s favourite fruit bomb Citra, the classic orange zest of Amarillo and the deep pine, lightly tropical punch of Simcoe.

Pours a cloudy, golden amber coloration with a medium, foamy head. Smells of biscuity malt, citrus/tropical hops and a distinct grassy dankness, with notes of grapefruit and papaya. Taste is a great balance between biscuity malt, citrus/tropical hops and a distinct grassy dankness, with the zesty citrus notes of grapefruit and lime peel dominating and lighter accents of papaya, as well as just a hint of pine. Finishes with a light bitterness and some citrus notes and grassy dankness lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
A very nice Pale Ale that is very easy-drinking and refreshing, while also showcasing some rather vibrant, zesty citrus notes and a distinct dankness, backed up by lighter tropical accents and pine. Very enjoyable indeed, with a great mouthfeel for the style and ABV.
