• Drift (4% ABV) is a new amber ale from St Ives Brewery. It’s described as an easy-drinking ale made in a classic style with modern brewing techniques. Malt driven, it offers subtle bitterness and a light note of fruity hop character.
• Caught in the Currant (4.7% ABV) is Padstow’s second sour of the beer, and its another cheesecake sour. “The subtle cream and biscuit notes return, but this time blackcurrants take the lead role to deliver a beer that’s delicious, refreshing, and drop dead gorgeous,” says the brewer.
