Description
Powderkeg are freedom-loving beer obsessives carving our own path with curiosity, creativity and defiance; this is free-thinking beer.

But what is Free-Thinking Beer? We look beyond the established ideas and opinions to revolutionise a style to create something fresh, interesting and always outstanding. In Cut Loose, we re-imagine a classic German-style Pilsner by pepping it up with New Zealand hops; it’s a great example of how moving past traditional techniques can elevate a beer beyond expectations. For maximum accessibility our beers are also Gluten-Free and Vegan.

Cask ale, half pint, shared with Finn at Imperial (JDW). Clear, pale golden body. Low white head leaving crocheted lacing behind. Smell of pale malts and fresh grassy hops. Hop fruity flavurs of lemon and grass together with a backdrop of grain. Mid-sweet fruity ending, Okay pilsener, fine thirst quencher (Exeter 28.09.2016).

Cask-conditioned on gravity at the Hope & Anchor, Bristol 1/4/2016. Amber in colour, with a slight, white, head and faint haze. Aroma of pineapple and tangerine fruits and grassy hops. Flavour had more fruits, earthy malts and a decent, vaguely dryish, finish. Good.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and semi dry and has a fine crispness. Thin malts bring a milky sweetness. A flash of bright tangerine give way to ripe fruits. Crisp finish. Tad messy for the style but not bad.
