When you think of a classic American Pale Ale - who do you think of?
Sierra Nevada? Oskar Blues? Flying Dog? Anchor?
All these and more were the inspiration for our Commonside Pale Ale, named after the beautiful Wandsworth Common that we call home.
Keeping true to the style, we use all American hops, grown in the Willamette and Yakima valleys of the American Pacific Northwest.
Delicious citrus and pine aroma jumps out of the glass, complemented by a biscuity malt sweetness and a lemony, herbal & bitter finish.
Hops: Nugget, Cluster, Cascade, Centenniel, Ekuanot
Malts: Extra Pale, Best Malt, Caramalt
Yeast: US-05

Hazy gold beer with a tidy off white head. Palate is smooth and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Light creamy malt supports what tastes like sweet NZ hops - sweet floralness and lime. Light soft finish. Pretty drinkable but quite sweet for the style.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli and Nellie - picked up at the brewery. Pours mostly clear, bright gold with a moderate, foamy white head. Aroma holds some lightly doughy and dry pale malts, some tangy lemon. Light sweet flavor, simple dry pale malts, some zesty lemon, hints of hay. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Faintly resinous finish, more zesty lemon, some rindy bitterness, mellow biscuits, pepper, hay. A very basic but highly drinkable pale ale.
