The beer has been created using British, US, and Australian hop varieties. The result is a fruity ale with flavours of peach, blueberry, and papaya. These notes are complemented by a hoppy citrus finish and balanced bitterness.
“We are thrilled with the latest addition to our small batch range,” said Salcombe Brewery head brewer Sam Beaman. “Atlas showcases a combination of hops from across the globe, featuring British, US and Australian varieties.
“When it came to naming our new beer we took inspiration from the many maritime explorations and adventures that have set off from Devon, across the Atlantic, and returned with exotic ingredients. Atlas is the Greek god after whom the Atlantic is named.”
He added: “Atlas is the second beer in our new small batch range. Our first, Belgica, won gold at the SIBA awards, so the pressure is on to follow it with something just as outstanding. I am confident that we have hit the mark with Atlas and it will be a fantastic addition to our range of award-winning ales.”
Atlas is available in cask and can.
