Left Handed Giant - Simple Maths

Simple Maths is a gloriously fruit-forward 5.5% Double Dry-Hopped Pale Ale from Bristol's Left Handed Giant, showcasing three exciting Australian hop varieties: Beedelup, Azure and Galaxy. This vibrant creation puts some of Australia's finest hop-growing regions firmly in the spotlight, combining the famously intense aromatic character of Galaxy with two intriguing varieties that deliver an abundance of exotic fruit flavours. An early addition of Prysma hop extract, followed by generous dry-hopping with T90 pellets, helps unlock Galaxy's extraordinary essential oil content, while Beedelup, an emerging variety from Ryefield Hops in New South Wales, contributes its exceptionally bold tropical personality. Alongside Azure's rich, fruity character, the result is a wonderfully aromatic pale ale bursting with impressions of guava, sticky mango and white peach. It's a fantastic showcase of modern Australian hops and another deliciously inventive release from one of Bristol's most exciting breweries.

Pouring a beautifully hazy golden colour, Simple Maths delivers a vibrant combination of juicy tropical fruit and aromatic hop intensity. On the palate, expect generous waves of ripe guava and luscious mango, followed by delicate white peach sweetness and a distinctive dank, tropical undertone. Galaxy's expressive fruit character provides a wonderful foundation, while Beedelup and Azure add further layers of aromatic complexity, creating a rich, fruit-salad-like drinking experience. A soft, rounded body complements the generous hopping, with enough bitterness to balance the sweeter fruit impressions and keep the finish pleasantly refreshing. At an approachable 5.5% ABV, Simple Maths offers the hop intensity of a much bigger IPA while retaining the easy-drinking appeal of a beautifully crafted pale ale. Bold, juicy and packed with Australian sunshine, this is a cracking choice for anyone who loves exploring exciting new hop varieties!
