Pekin Pale Ale is a refreshing pale ale with hints of tropical fruit. Exclusively hopped with a new experimental hop, developed and grown on the farm where we brew.

This Pale Ale has been Pekin everyone’s interest. In 2019 we started entering it into competitions. That year it was awarded 1 star at Great Taste as well as taking bronze at the SIBA Regional Awards. Last year, in 2020, it yet again won a star at The Great Taste Awards.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear gold with small white top which dissipates. Aroma of biscuit, orange zest. Taste of melon, orange, flora with peppery spice and creeping bitterness. Light bodied, nice zing to the carbonation though, refreshing.

Bottle at home, picked up from a farm shop in Worcestershire, 30/07/23. Clear golden with a just off white covering that thins to edging and a swirl. Nose is grains, hedgerow, light biscuit notes, malts, straw, lemon nip. Taste comprises pale malts, straw, grains, biscuit, stewed fruits, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a modest bitter edge. Passable pale ... rather overly malty and lacking refreshment.
