Description
Since 2015 we’ve been brewing & refining relentlessly to create the ultimate pale ales ~ beers that are hazy, juiced-up & bursting with hoppy goodness.
Our driving passion is modern hop-forward beer.
From high in the hills of Somerset we're a true grassroots brewery that’s fiercely independent & we’re 100% committed to keeping it that way.
We’re totally obsessed with low oxygen brewing... it means our beers stay fresher for longer. But that's not all, every Pale Ale & IPA we ship is under 6 weeks old!
All our beers are naturally carbonated & our brewery runs on 100% green energy.

Cask gravity at the Watford beer fest 2015. Dull golden amber coloured pour with a light haze and a loose off white head. aroma is juicy lemon, resinous pine, brown sugars and toffee. Flavour is composed of earthy pine, little spritzy, burnt toffee, grassy hop. Dirty assertive hop bitterness, resin. Palate is semi sweet, grassy, spritzy. Rough round the edges.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 26/9/2015. Golden with a decent, white, head. Hoppy aroma with some tropical fruit. Full bodied, with solid, cereal malts, more fruits and a lengthy, bitter, finish. Enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 21/9/2015. Slightly hazy, pale gold with a billowy, white, head. Aroma of grassy hops, mango and other tropical fruits. Flavour was dominated by fresh, and not overly sweet mango, light malts and the finish was dryish. Good.
