FRISBY

Lager   4.2% ABV

Silver medal winner at the Oscars of global beer, the International Brewing Awards 2019. Pouring a pale straw colour, Frisby is a bright lager with a dense white foam. A blend of German and English malts provides a delicate sweetness with biscuit & honied malt character. Very cold fermentation and extended maturation provide a clean base to build upon with English Fuggles hops which lend a light herbal and spicy aroma and definite yet soft bitterness.

TOPSIDE

Golden Ale   4.6% ABV

Sublime fruity esters jostle with floral and fruity hop aromas. English Goldings and New Zealand Motueka hops are matched to provide delicious hot-side hopping without over-powering our house ale yeast’s character. Explore further and you may find aromas of frangipani, mandarins and wine gums leading to a sweet malt and soft bitter finish.

STEEPLECHASE

Pale Ale  4.4% ABV

A sumptuous orange hue provided by a base of the finest English barley malts builds a level of sweet malt complexity that is well balanced with English, New Zealand and US hops. Juicy hop aromas of oranges, tropical fruit and citrus orchards lead to a very pleasing bitterness and cleansing finish.

GUNMETAL

Black Lager  4.8% ABV

Gold medal winner at the Oscars of global beer, the International Brewing Awards 2019.  For us, its simply the World's best lager.  But, you decide.  A beautiful looking beer – dark brown in colour with deep garnet highlights and a crema-like foam. Gunmetal is clean and crisp from a long and slow ferment at 9°C with our house lager yeast.  Aromas of herbal & earthy Noble hops jostle for position with the delicate aromas of lightly roasty, toasty and smooth biscuit malt. Deliciously on the palate – there is none of the burnt malt astringency normally associated with beers of this colour.

Hopping Spree

West Coast IPA

6.6% ABV

Deep golden marmalade in colour and pouring bright, hop-lead aromas of stonefruit, citrus, pine and tropical dominate. Hopping Spree is well built, with multiple hot-side hop additions adding complexity and drinkability and our dry hopping regime rounding the whole beer out. The malt takes a back seat in  this beer, it’s pleasant and nuanced against the hopping, but the massive 6.6% ABV deliver the sweetness needed for a beer of this hop content.
