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.

Bottle. Nice creamy head with good duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are earthy hops, flowers, citrus, malt and grass. Bitter finish. I love hops, but earthy hops are not my favorite.

bottle from M&S Exeter. Hazy golden with a tall white head and an intensive hop aroma. Medium-bodied, good malty base delivering delicious aromatic fruity hops. Anytime again.

330ml can from Ales by Mail. Pours hazy gold. Taste is bright citrus, not particularly fresh-tasting but has a good soft citrus fruitiness. A good easy-drinker.

Bottle at the Hare and Billet, Blackheath. Hazy gold pour with a white head. Sweet citrus and peach aroma. Bags of fruit in the flavour leading to a citrus twist in the finish. Tasty stuff.

Bottle shared with Erwin Van Moll @ Brewpub Van Moll during the bottling of Benzai’s 10k beer. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, wet hops. Taste lightly malts, wet hops, lightly grassy, lightly bitter. Average, perhaps even a bit watery body and low carbonation.
