notes
This Double Dry Hopped (DDH) pale looks as juicy as it smells. The new world hops from New Zealand give a punchy nose of ripe stone fruits with a mango sweetness. Thick and creamy in the mouth. notes of grape and gooseberry blend with soft stone fruits and a deep resinous hop bitterness. flavours linger on the palate with light citrus notes to finish. As always, a masterclass in East coast style pale ale from Cloudwater. This was a limited release brew to celebrate one of their brewers leaving to travel.
food pairings
A creamy light blue cheese would accentuate the soft fruit flavours, so a walnut, pear and blue cheese salad with a light oil based dressing would be beautiful. or go classic with some salty, crisp pretzels.
