South Pacific Pale Ale
Kipling was the first UK beer to use the exquisite Nelson Sauvin hop from New Zealand. We brew this as a SMASH (Single Malt and Single Hop) using the heritage Maris Otter as a base malt which works to allow the complex flavour of this hop to really shine through. There is a grassy, grapefruit character on the nose, followed by passionfruit and mango. It finishes with a balanced and thirst-quenching bitterness.

Clear golden pour, big rocky white head.
A huge white wine character to this beer. A vinous, hoppy, acidic aroma, with some citrus. Light carb, solid mouthfeel. Medium bitter finish, light grass, and some more vinous tartness.

Aroma of citrus, light tropical fruit, grass, hops. Flavour is fruity and hoppy, with a medium bitter finish. Very fresh and easily drinkable.

Аромат весьма горький, много хмеля, хотя и не без солода. Много травянистости и дерева на оттенке, затем солод. Цвет при этом можно сказать как у лагера, очень золотой с тонкой белой пенкой. Вкус такой же очень горький, все на себя берет травянистость. В принципе ничего не могу сказать более. Просто горькое пиво с большим количеством хмеля. Травы и сама трава, все.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Hazy yellow coloured brew with an well balanced bitter start, white grapes/fruity/citrus taste and fine bitter finish. Again Nelson Sauvin gives beer an fine fruity and wine-like appearance.

Ein schönes spritziges Bier, das offenbar auch nach einer britischen Serienfigur benannt ist. Der Aromahopfen wird gezielt und nicht übertrieben eingesetzt und macht ein angenehm erfrischendes Mundgefühl. EIn Bier das ich mir gut im englischen Hitzesommer vorstellen kann.

Rocky white head left a froth on a golden coloured body. Zesty tropical fruit aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & clean. Tropical fruit, melon, pithy & bitter tastes. Refreshing.
