Cone Zone V3

ARTWORK BY MARK FAULKNER

MILD ALE GREEN HOPPED WITH CASCADE GROWN IN GLASGOW’S SOUTHSIDE

3.6% ABV
SEASONS CHANGE

As part of our ongoing Seasons Change range we welcome the third iteration of the Cone Zone: a Dark Mild Ale hopped with green Cascade grown in the Southside of Glasgow.

After a wash out Summer it seemed best to use the wet hops in a malt forward brew. Also, Milds and 60 Shilling Ales are one of our favourite styles to brew and drink: light & delicate caramelised flavours pair so smoothly with a low abv beer lacking bitterness.

Cone Zone V3 is a great example of the style if you don’t mind me saying so. Dropping the pH in the mash lower than you would expect for most dark styles allowed for an acidity, which combines very nicely with the surprisingly citrusy wet Cascade.

The main flavours are of milk chocolate and mildly roasted coffee but these never overrun the palate. It’s a pleasant and easy going brew. Simple and true to style. Not to mention honouring the brewery’s ethos of looking local for ingredients and getting creative.
