Hollyrood is a vibrant and exceptionally drinkable Pale Ale, bursting with tangy grapefruit aroma and flavour from a generous helping of American hops. Balanced beautifully by Scottish malts, it delivers a crisp, refreshing finish that keeps you coming back for more.
The name “Hollyrood” is a playful fusion of Holyrood, the historic heart of Edinburgh, and Hollywood, a nod to the bold American hops that give this beer its signature citrusy punch.
What is an American Pale Ale (APA)?
An American Pale Ale is a hop-forward beer style known for its bright citrus and pine flavours, typically from American-grown hops. It’s lighter in body and bitterness than an IPA, making it a perfect everyday ale for hop lovers.
How is a Pale Ale different from an IPA?
While both styles are hop-centric, IPAs (India Pale Ales) tend to be stronger in alcohol, more bitter, and often more intensely flavoured than Pale Ales. Think of Pale Ales as the more approachable, sessionable cousin of the IPA, offering hop character without overwhelming intensity.
Perfect for fans of citrusy craft beers, American hop profiles, and those looking to explore the intersection of Scottish tradition and American flair.
This beer is Gluten Free, making it a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone exploring gluten-reduced options.
