PRETTY GOOD DDH PALE ALE?
Pretty great!
This little brew from Modest Beer has got a lot of attention since its release, and rightly so. We couldn’t resist trying it for ourselves. 🍺
Packed with Citra and last year’s phenomenon - mighty Nectaron. Hazy, generously hopped and modern pale ale.

GLOSSY INTERVIEW || WHIPLASH & ALLTA

Dark sour, aged for three years in French Oak Cognac barrels. Only a tiny batch was born, and there are not many places where you can find this beauty.

Leah (from Whiplash) was very kind to give us some behind-the-scenes info on this partnership, and you can read all about it in the latest Hop Glossy 🔥
[Leah announced her last day with the team last week - thank you, Leah, and all the best in your future adventures!]

This beer is mature, developing many different layers of flavours with each sip. The sourness of green apples and unripe cherries come to the main stage, fading into the background for the cherries to play solo in the front. It’s a symphony of sweet, sour and dry, tickling your senses with a mild spicy finish, developed from the ageing and entering your taste buds in a pleasant order. Despite its relatively low ABV of 5.7%, this beer deserves an occasion to sip and savour.

Find it pouring in and .l.l.t.a and get your cans on webshop.

Sláinte! 💚
