A New England – Australia Pale Ale a using a high proportion of wheat and oats in the grist to add body and aid haze formation. Low bitterness to accentuate a soft mouthfeel and heavily dry-hopped with a blend of dank and juicy Australian hops imparting tropical fruit aromas, and filled with passion fruit, mango and orange flavour. Fermented with our house yeast WLP066 for maximum aroma and a slightly sweet finish, it’s a perfectly balanced, smooth and tasty little number.

Come on the Wombles! ????gary k. Not had a Magic Rock beer for years (since the Lion/Kirin TO) this one is pretty decent overall with a pleasing fruity mix, citrus rind, light hop spice, soft sweet malts, pine needles, light resinous hoppy close.

Can. Hazy yellowish golden colour, small white foamy head. Aroma some citrus, mild orange juice with some mild oaty tones. Flavour is quite much following the same pattern, but also has some wooden tones.

Can at home from Waitrose, 2nd January 2022. Pours hazy, not so murky. Aroma is peach and citrus. Taste is smooth and peach, citrus and light pine, medium bitter and actually a good beer for a supermarket purchase

Uklar gul farge med hvitt skum. Lukter grapefrukt, ananas. Mild i smak. Llettdrikkelig. Noe tørr avslutning.
