Space Taxi

If you’re wondering about the inspiration behind the name of this West Coast Pale Ale, then look no further than Elon Musk’s SpaceX, the reusable rocket that will keep going up into space time and time again. Not that we are sending our beer into space, but what it does mean is that several expressions of Space Taxi will be brewed, each with a different hop variety all with the aim of showcasing its character and treating you, the drinker.

With El Dorado the hop being used here, the beer is dark orange verging on amber in colour, and there are pear (think canned pear rather than a grocer’s Conference), ripe mango and the light aromatics of a ripe Galia melon on the nose. The palate is boosted by notes of pear, soft white peach, apricot, more mango, Galia melon and delicate biscuitiness before a lovely lingering bitter and dry finish. Show Less
