This is the darling of the Reckless line-up - the beer that started it all.
It took 18 trial brews over almost two years for the Reckless crew to get this beer to where it is today, but once they were there, they knew they’d hit on something special; their Pale Ale strikes that chord of approachability and complexity that they were after.
Grace the head brewer built this beer upon three of her favourite hops - Simcoe, Galaxy, and Citra. From the instant this beer pours into the glass, big orange sherbet hits you full in the face to show off the Citra that was piled in at the dry-hopping stage. But when you start to drink, it spreads out across the tongue as the Simcoe and Galaxy bring their fruit medley and bitterness to play.
Exciting in the nose, lively in the mouth, tidy in the finish; don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to try drinking 18 of these.
