Say hello to Ring The Hills

Taste guide  3.9% abv  Light golden ale with orange and lemon citrus notes, a soft bitterness and gentle malt aftertaste

Ring the Hills is a new beer and a slightly new departure for us, as it is a twist on our most popular beer – Pintail.

Pintail is so popular and gets it lemon and lime citrus flavour and gentle hoppiness from the New Zealand hop Motueka – and it is such a big hit.

But we got to thinking  could you do a UK version of it – and how would it compare?

So, we kept the malt recipe exactly the same but switched out the Motueka for two of our favourite UK hops; Olicana ( mango, passionfruit, floral) and Godiva ( tangerine, white grape).

Its very much a beer which is part of the same family as Pintail but it has its own distinct characteristics – and we like it.

It may be back but for now it is a one off small batch brew and be quick as there will only be 10 cask made available to pubs.

Available week commencing 13 October
