When your very existence is in some way radical in itself, sometimes all you want is an easy-going beer. This Pale Ale is just that. Hopped with Citra and Simcoe and fermented with Kveik yeast, it sings with mango, passionfruit, and ripe tangerine. This beer is for taking up space, and standing tall. We’ll be right there beside you.

13/IX/25 - on tap @ BBP Wanderlust Beer Festival (Brussels), BB: n/a (2025-883) Thanks to Sara, Dalys, Bjorn and Laurence for sharing today’s beers!
Clear yellow blond beer, aery irregular white head, a bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: earthy, hoppy, a bit dank, some tropical fruits, juicy, cheesy, dank hops, sweaty feet, a bit fruity, some bubble gum, more sweet fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soapy, salty, weird, saline impression, floral notes, a hint of honey, bitter. Aftertaste: a bit zesty, grassy, bitter, soapy, dry, a bit funky, rather weird. Not a big fan.

Draft at Beerarama, Eastbourne. Poured a murky golden orange colour with an everlasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, orange tangerine. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, dry, light mineral, juicy orange citrus, light grapefruit, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the pottery fair. Pours mostly clear gold with a small, foamy white head. Light to medium sweet flavour, notes of apricot, melon, tangerine, light rindy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with further citrus fruits, apricot accents, rind, a nip of pine. Not bad overall.
