Signature Brew: Lo-Fi

Since 2011, Signature Brew have been creating award winning, music-inspired beers and collaborated with some of the world's best musicians. Over the years they have collaborated with artists including Alt-J, Mastodon and Enter Shikari. They work with the artist to decide what style suits them. It's a very hands on process, getting the artist to help the brewers to make the beer - and they love nothing more than to launch each unique beer with a secret show.

Lo-Fi is Signature Brew's offering to the alcohol-free market. Signature Brew have used Simcoe hops from the USA to produce an unfiltered, hazy pale ale. There are some really sweet notes on the nose as you pour it and packing it out with Simcoe hops means you really get those pine and tropical flavours coming through. I feel a little bit that it's a shame it loses its head so quickly, but thankfully that doesn't take anything away from the balance of citrus and pineapple flavours, almost grapefruit. I've had a few of these now and it's currently a constant in my fridge. Great hazy pale ale that is refreshing and leaves you wanting to crack open another one. 

I've not had anything from Signature Brew before, but based on this I hope they continue to add to their alcohol free range. Looking at their other beers they are not shy to try their hand at anything, so keep an eye on these guys - I get the feeling we'll see a lot more of them.
