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.

330ml bottle from Hops and Crafts, Exeter; BB Mar 2019. Drank on 14th July 2018 at my brothers place down in Devon. Clear golden pour, white crown that lasted. Caramel aroma and initial taste, sweetness calms down a little and fruity flavours begin to arrive mid-sip followed by a dry bitterness in the finish. Having looked at the hop varieties used (according to the bottle label), I am surprised there isn't more of a citrus leaning.

Bottle from ASDA, Halifax. Deeper golden with a small head. Has a lovely pale ale aroma with a hint of fruit here and in its taste, but more caramels.

Bottle from Darts Farm, Devon. Amber-chestnut with a beige head and rather too much fizz. Tastes of marmalade, lemon peel, pine, cinnamon, brown toast, and a touch of toffee. Sticky and resin but with a dry and mildly bitter finish. All the flavours are good individual, but overall it doesn't work. The pine just doesn't go with the other flavours. That apart, I still enjoyed it.
