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.

33cl bottle. Bbe 230315. Pours hazy amber, thick white head, lasting. Fruity, herbal aroma, some plastic notes as well as citrus coming later. Flavor has herbs, citrus fruits, hopjuice. Hoppy, dry, bitter. Could be fruitier. Needs more body. Refreshing stuff.

17.04.2014, 0,33l bottle @ home:
Nice creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry resiny, pine needles, bark, hops, grass, light malts, moss, old leafs, thinner. Taste is slightly harsh resiny, bark, pine needles, cardboard, harsh hops, soil, lawn, old leafs, citrus peel. Longlasting bitterness, dry harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough.

330 ml bottle, from the Norwegian importer. No brewing date or "best before" date on the bottle. ABV is 5.5%. Slightly hazy golden colour, large white head. Nice aroma of fruity / citrussy and herbal hops, a hint of dill. Citrussy and distinctly herbal / mildly spicy flavour, medium dry, with a nice bitterness in the finish and long aftertaste. Good beer. Would buy again.
