Beyond the reach of the waves on the lowland heaths of Walberswick and Southwold, Suffolk’s coastal winds whip through the reeds and the dunes. It’s breezy and dry, just like our lager. We wanted to give it the appearance of a beer everyone was familiar with, but with the added twist of more fruit-driven hops. We did several trials on our pilot brew kit to try to get the balance just right, before settling on the final recipe. We’ve brewed with pale malts and used peachy Australian Galaxy hops to add a fruity twist. It is then lagered, or cold conditioned, to give a full, well-rounded flavour and that dry, refreshing bite. Galaxy hops are descended from the excellent German allrounder, Perle, and are known for their amazing peach, and passionfruit aromas, especially when used as a late addition.
