Not even the recent downpour can dampen independent brewer Bath Ales’ enthusiasm for the summer as it introduces its latest brew, Summer’s Hare.
Light, hoppy and well balanced with some fruit and malt, the light amber seasonal beer was launched this week. It has been brewed using the finest pale Maris Otter floor-malted barley and a mix of Bramling Cross and Chinook hops are combined to make the perfect drink for a summer’s evening.
Available in cask (3.9% ABV) until the end of August, Summer’s Hare has a full malt flavour and fruity bitterness with aromas of spice and summer fruits for beer lovers to enjoy.
Commenting on the beer head brewer, Gerry Condell, said: “It’s hard to believe it, but summer is just around the corner! We can’t do anything about the sunshine, but we can lift everyone’s spirits. “
Summer’s Hare goes well with a Ploughman’s, quiches, vegetable soups and mild cheeses.
