Description
Our Poolside protolab in Amsterdam is a small (tiny) brewery where we spend months (sometimes years) honing every recipe to perfection. We experiment, tweak and taste until a recipe is just right and then we work with a big brewery to scale it up and bring Poolside to life.

We only work with independent brewers who we trust and respect and we work closely with them to scale our recipes for their systems. We don’t work with any one specific brewery, we are nomads. We will always be transparent about where our beer is brewed so check the can if you are interested.

Can sourced from Beerdome and drunk at home - pours a totally hazed up opaque golden orange colour with a medium white head. Only 3rd time trying this HBC630 hop and again bringing that nice berry fruity profile, cryo pop/citra imparting loads of juicy tropical citrus stonefruit action as well, flaked oat laden malty mouthfeel and body, robust hoppy finish. Drinks good, lovely.

More yummy hops! Light yet fairly thick, creamy, with plenty of carbonation. Pretty floral, and lots of yellow fruit. Melon, gooseberry, something tropical, ending on a light bitter. Very tasty, and well balanced. Good stuff.

Bright hazy golden pour witha thin off-white head. Pineapple, gooseberries, lime, melon, unripe tropical fruit, unripe stone fruit. Actually pretty damn good - bitter-sweet and with a bit of fresh fruit tartness.
