Hydes has announced the third installment of its 2026 hairstyle-themed seasonal ale range with the March launch of A Cut Above.
Following the February run of the dark and rugged Mullet Over, A Cut Above offers a shift in style and profile.
The 4% ABV brew is dark golden, achieved through a blend of Vienna and Cara malts. The choice of grains provides a sturdy backbone that supports a sophisticated bouquet of English Boadicea hops, resulting in a pint that balances spicy, floral notes with a light, crisp malt presence on the nose.
The year-long celebration of iconic haircuts uses bold pumpclip designs and creative storytelling to engage cask enthusiasts. A Cut Above continues the momentum, trading the heavy, roasted tones of winter for a brighter, more spring-like drinking experience.
“A Cut Above is exactly what the name suggests, a well-groomed, premium golden ale that stands out on the bar,” said Hydes’ managing director, Adam Mayers.
“We wanted something that felt refined yet accessible, especially as the atmosphere builds toward the conclusion of the Six Nations. It is a beer designed for those long afternoons in the pub where quality and drinkability are important.
“Customer feedback on our themed range has been fantastic so far. By pairing high-quality brewing with a bit of personality and humour, we are starting great conversations between our pub teams and our customers. A Cut Above is a testament to that balance, offering a clean, floral finish that signals the arrival of spring.”
