Brew Review: Hop, Skip & Juice - Hazy Pale Ale by Vocation Brewery x Manchester Marble Brewery

Exceedingly drinkable, this collaboration between Vocation Brewery and Manchester Marble Brewery, exclusive to Tesco and priced at £3.00, which is an absolute steal for a beer of this quality. Worth a trip to Tesco just to pick up a few!
Appearance: This unpasteurised and unfiltered beer produces a frothy white head on pouring, a cloudy, straw coloured body and a pleasing amount of sediment swirling around.
Aroma: Punchy, with hints of mango, pineapple and grapefruit to its aroma and taste.
Taste: Fruitier than hoppy, packing in the kind of flavours I had hoped for and expected for a hazy pale ale, with slight bitter aftertaste. More pineapple and juicy flavours coming through and packing a punch.
Ingredients
Water, Malted Barley, Oats, Wheat, Hops, Yeast
Malt: Extra Pale, Oats, Wheat
Hops: Citra BBC & Simcoe
Mouthfeel: Smooth, full tasting whilst in the mouth, giving that pleasant burn at the back of the throat. There isn’t a whole load of carbonation, but personally I prefer this and find it better for it, although other batches will vary in this.
Overall: Although a 5.7% abv beer, the taste of alcohol is not strong, making this a very refreshing and tasty drink, perfect for a summer evening and definitely one to revisit. A 440ml can exclusive to Tesco, although also available directly from Vocation, costing £3.00 and worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Rating: 4.50/5.00
