We used a single mash which would give rise to two different species of beer - one a 3.5% pale ale and the other a 6.5% IPA. The mash contained rye, vienna and pale malts to provide a heavy malty backbone which adds interest to the pale ale and provides a strong malt body to the IPA. We then hopped each beer with Simcoe, Citra and Galaxy to add some fruity hoppiness. These beers are presented at the same time to allow you to experience the differences this divergence in the family tree has caused, or maybe blend the two to gain an insight into what may have been should evolution have taken a different path.

Cask at the Hare and Billet, Blackheath. Amber/gold pour with a white head. Lots of citrus fruit in the aroma. Smoky-malt herby flavours with a splash of fruit in there too. Dry finish. A lot more character in this one than the 3.5% version.
