New Shoots

From: £17.85

West Coast Session IPA – 4.8%

A celebration of new growth, New Shoots is a hop-forward, summery pale ale. Plenty of classic American West Coast hops, with the addition of freshly foraged conifer tips, makes for a refreshing ale with punchy citrus and pine flavours.

"

New Shoots is named after its not-so-secret ingredient; the fresh tips from larch, spruce and pine trees, gathered in the spring and added to the beer. Young conifer tips give fresh grassy and citrus notes (as well as light piney, resinous flavours), and these align beautifully with the American hop varieties we’ve used. Wonderfully quaffable in the sunshine.

This beer was brewed with barley malt, but has been crafted to remove any gluten present in the finished beer. Independent testing shows that the beer is verified gluten free. Analysis shows the beer has fewer than 10 parts-per-million of gluten present; food and drink with below 20 ppm can be labelled gluten free in the UK. Research shows that this tiny amount of gluten is not toxic to people with coeliac disease and they can eat or drink unlimited amounts of product with gluten at a level of 20 ppm or less.

3 reviews for New Shoots

  1. Tom L –

    Probably my favourite from Strangers, shame it’s only a seasonable brew but looking forward to it coming around again in future. Higher on the bitterness for me than similar brews, but it works and is also a real grower – I can rarely settle with just one can!

  2. George McCue –

    Really enjoyed my first taster pack every can had something different. The American New shoots and the Narrow boat ipa where outstanding

  3. Tony –

    Didn’t know what to expect with the pine but surprised to find it very enjoyable, the perfect balance. Lovely and refreshing. A big hit!
