DOG'S WINDOW - CATCHING RAYS PALE ALE (440ml) 4.7% (Gold £4.37)
Catching Rays pours a hazy, pale gold, reminiscent of a sunbeam through a morning mist.
An initial wave of classic American hops hits first: bright pink grapefruit from the Centennial and a distinct, sappy pine note from the Simcoe. This is immediately softened by the more modern hops; Cashmere lends a gentle note of cantaloupe melon and lemon-lime, while the Wai-iti contributes a delicate whisper of fresh apricot and peach skin. Beneath it all, there’s a subtle, clean graininess from the malt base.
