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.

30/X/17 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: n/a (2017-1840) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear yellow beer, small creamy white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit fruity, oxidized. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, soapy, fruity touch, some citrus, pretty watery, malty. Aftertaste: bit fruity, some grapefruit, hoppy touch, bit oxidized. Probably too old, but: 1. no date to be found on the bottle or the cap, 2. ordered through a webshop, so always risky...

On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours gold brown with a great pillowy head. Peach, mango, pineapple, little sherbet stuff and a little bit of bitterness. Big and juicy enough to almost make up for that finish. Nice.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of hops, straw, malt, and a bit of spice. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, hops, fruits, and flowers, leading to a bitter finish. The body is a bit light.
