Pulsar IPA

(5.0%)

We brewed a well-received single varietal seasonal beer with the new Kiwi hop Nectaron® earlier this year and our brewing team alchemists were so impressed with the variety’s potential that they came up with the idea of pairing it with US big-hitter Chinook in a punchy new Oakham cask aged IPA.

Tropical fruit and aromatic herbal notes from Nectaron® radiate pulsatingly with the pine resin and robust grapefruit notes of Chinook.

All finished off stylishly by dry hopping with a touch of Citra before cask ageing.

Well we are Oakham!

The Cask Ageing Process

Oakham’s Cask Aged beers command a lot of the brewing team’s care and attention and these award-winning beers prove that it’s time well spent!

The process starts with great beer being brewed in the usual Oakham way, but at the end of the initial fermentation, yeast cells are removed from the beer.

This is because yeast gets tired and a bit bad tempered after working hard in the fermentation process and this can cause undesirable aromas and flavours.

So fresh yeast is introduced to complete the fermentation – a process known as “Krausening” and the method which ensures that Oakham’s Cask Aged beers taste so smooth and drinkable.

The beer is then racked in casks and cellared like a fine wine to allow development of the remarkable flavours and conditioning that characterize the Oakham Cask Aged range.

All of the Oakham Cask Aged beers are aged for at least 6 weeks – usually for much longer.
