Rebellion – Red Card

Wayne — Wed, 02 Jun 2021 10:53:58 +0000

Golden & Vibrant 4.2%

Red Card is a golden pale ale with a vibrant hop character. A smidgen of crystal T50 creates the golden colour and adds a bit of depth to the malt character. A trio of citrusy hops in Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Amarillo add notes of orange, grapefruit and gooseberry. A crisp, fresh, zesty and refreshing beer.

Malt: Maris Otter Pale Ale, Crystal T50

Hops: Progress, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo

A strong golden beer with a fresh hop character. This ale has a smooth taste with a balanced sweetness throughout. Devonshire through and through!

Even better on draft

Phantom Brewing – Feeling This

Wayne — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:41:07 +0000

American Pale Ale. 5% ABV.

Hopped with Columbus and Cascade, and then dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic, this is a juicy pale complimented by the oats in the malt bill.

Rebellion – Beer X

Wayne — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 16:36:07 +0000

Beer X is a trial brew of a medium strength golden beer. It is an easy-drinking, well balanced pale ale with a pleasing hoppy aroma.

Brewed with exclusively 100% Marris Otter pale ale malt which gives a clean and crisp base. British hops, First Gold, and Goldings add citrus and floral notes. American Citra hops added to the hopback add a distinct aroma of grapefruit and tropical fruit.

Harper Arms Rating (5=Tribute, 1=Carling): (3.4 / 5)

Rebellion – Wing Man

Wayne — Wed, 27 Nov 2019 17:42:25 +0000

An amber and malty classic bitter. Chocolate and double roasted crystal malts add a rich caramel and a light roasted flavour. Oats add a satisfyingly smooth mouthfeel.

Phoenix and Progress hops have classic British hop characteristics with subtle floral and spicy notes. Lemondrop adds, as the name suggests, a mellow citrus character to lift the beer. Overall a well-balanced, well crafted, east drinking traditional British bitter perfect for a late Autumn day in the pub.

UPDATE: Siren Craft Brew – Soundwave

Wayne — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 18:03:36 +0000

A 5.6% west coast IPA: golden, immensely hoppy and alive with grapefruit, peach and mango flavours.

Soundwave carries her drinker to the west coast, to the golden shores of California where craft ale is nectar. She is the driest of Siren’s ales – full with flavour but subtle with bitterness.

Her resinous finish will pull you off balance.

Harper Arms Rating (5=Tribute, 1=Carling): (4.5 / 5)

Wayne — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 14:43:11 +0000

Malt: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate

Hops: Fuggles, Phoenix, WGV

Rebellion – Gold

Wayne — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 13:02:18 +0000

A rich golden ale with an intensely hoppy aroma. We’ve crammed the hop back with as much American Mosaic hops as we could. This gives the beer a huge aroma of tropical fruits, citrus fruits and red berry. We’ve kept the bitterness relatively low despite the huge dose of late hops, so Gold retains its drinkability and balance. A truly contemporary golden ale.
