Brewed to celebrate our 10th Birthday, with our friends at DEYA; supported by YCH & the FWD program.
A huge portion of unmalted grains has lent a super smooth texture & indulgent mouthfeel, with pops of sweet orange and a herbaceous edge from El Dorado®. Very lucky to have access to them both, Citra® YCH803 & Dynaboost™ amplify the stone fruit aspect & Krush™ is bold & ripe; a real treat.
Sweet, Peach & Creamy
VEGAN.
Artist notes
Coming to us straight from Cornish folklore with two heads and a grudge, Thunderdell is the giant who gave us the infamous cry: “Fee, fi, fo, fum.” In some tellings, he stormed down from the North Pole, seeking revenge for the giants Jack had already slain. He crashed a banquet meant to honour Jack the Giant-Killer but things didn’t go to plan. Outwitted and beheaded at a drawbridge, Thunderdell’s heads were sent to King Arthur as proof of Jack’s victory.
In our version, Thunderdell stands ready for combat about to step onto the fateful bridge that would spell his demise surrounded by the beanstalks that eventually accompanied his catchphrase.

440ml can (slightly out of date), drank at home late on 5th January 2026. Hazed light lemon/yellow body, wispy white head. Fruity nose with a citrus leaning, taste also citrus laden, soft stone fruit with a mini sourness/bitterness. Yet there is an over riding sweetness within the beer.

Pineapple and grapefruit, some nice Stonefruit peach and apricot coming through, fruit salad chewits, citrus rinds, sweetish malty backing, balanced bitter hoppy close. Works well, although just a tad too sweet.
