Brewed to cure the winter blues.

Hunker down on these cold, dark nights with this Winter Pale Ale. Using bold American hops Willamette and Columbus, a pale malt base is lifted with powerful citrus fruit flavours, backed by more subtle floral, pepper and spice notes.

Second Christmas beer of the season, the second on the same night too.. might be a trend for the next month. A hoppy session style beer so not particularly seasonal, but pretty decent for what it is.

Bottle at Auntie Sue's on 15th November 2025. Obtained from my local Morrison's. Pale golden body, clean and clear, fast fading white wisp on top. Slight citrus nose and taste, nothing wintery about it in my opinion, all a bit subtle and thin.

Gulbrun klar med hvitt skum. Lukter sitrus, stikkelsbær og noe brød. Lett. Smaker noe av sitrusskall og lys karamell. Kort. Noe bitterhet i avslutninger.
