We have a passion for flavour and a lust for hops — this frisky, fragrant pale ale is the result. Whilst consistency is (rightly) the benchmark of most beers, we’ve gone Wild with Fresh and thrown away the rulebook. Every six months we source some of the most exciting hops from both the northern and southern hemispheres, which means two hop harvests and two excitingly different hop profiles. Given the unpredictability of each harvest we’ll leave it to you to discover the individual aromas and tastes, but you’ll be guaranteed a punchy hop character alongside an appetising bitterness and a crisp dry finish that will send you back for more. This is a beer we like to drink all through the year. We think you will too. The first brew of Fresh has copious amounts of New Zealand hops in it. We particularly love the sherbet lemon aromas in the Southern Cross.

Can at home. Aroma of grass, lemon, citrus, tropical fruit notes, cactus, hops. Flavour is medium bitter. Body is medium. Very crisp and sharply grassy, not your typical APA aroma, but definitely refreshing and tasty.

Bottle recieved with Euro Swap 2 2020, many thanks to Minutemat! The beer has got a slightly unclear golden colour with a white head. It has citrus and lime aroma. The taste is hoppy and citrussy, nice light.

330ml can. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light lemon lime citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, light, refreshing, light fruit, big dry pepper spice, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
