TABLE BEER
3.3% ABV
SEASONS CHANGE

Spring is here, the sun is shining (sort of!) and the squeakers are squeaking all over the place. Squeaker, the cutest wee word for a baby pigeon, is what we had to call our table beer. And here it is! 

A 3.3% rye table table beer mainly hopped with Azacca, which brings stone fruits, tangerine, spicy mango and pine. Callista was added in the dry hop to accentuate the apricot and peachy flavours. It’s got a gorgeous apricot-like, golden orange colour and there’s a malty sweetness. Then the rye malt leaves you with a spicy smokiness.

A good table beer must have a decent body and this one certainly delivers. Everything from the high mash temp, the right amount of dextrin, short sparge and low attenuating yeast was essential in getting a high final gravity. This gives it a smooth, medium body and allows it stand up next to your favourite session pales. But it’s even more sessionable!
