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.

From bottle at a restaurant in London.
Orange, hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, lacing, white head.
Aroma of passion fruit, lychee, mango, citrus, peach, earth, pine, biscuit.
Taste follows this pretty much.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes smooth, moderate bitter, medium dry, fruity, floral, a bit earthy, a bit piney, a bit biscuity.
Tasty. Nothing exceptional or unique, a typical fresh hop ale, but it’s so well balanced. Drinks very smooth, with the right levels of hop kick, fruitiness, dryness and some lovely earthy notes. Great Pale Ale, that I could drink all day.

Shared 330 ml can. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a white head. Aroma is fruity, with citrus and pineapple notes and hints of pine. Similar taste. Easy to drink.

330ml bottle. Hazy pale golden yellow colour with a two finger frothy white head. Aroma: citrus hops, lemon, pale malt. Taste: lemon, citrus hops, pale malt, bit of pine, light-moderate bitterness. Fairly dry finish. Light body. Good beer, though not as exciting as the label makes it out to be.
Also, label tells you not to age it but doesn’t give a bottling date or a BB date so I have no idea just how fresh this bottle of Fresh actually was.

Bote en el taxman León 24..03..2016 lote 263F hasta 11..2016. (r197). Color anaranjado turbio con espuma Blanca. Aromas y sabores maltosos con buena dosis de herbaceos frescos con ligeros recuerdos a marihuana cuando está más fría, pasando a ligeros afrutados tropicales al calentar. Ligero amargo verde y algo seco al final. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo pastoso y espumoso al calentar. No está mal.
