Small Batch Brewing Co Smug Aroma
Smug Aroma is a modern American Pale Ale that showcases the multi-faceted profile of Strata hops. It presents a vibrant sensory experience characterized by intense aromas of passion fruit, ripe strawberry, and a distinctive herbal dankness. The palate follows suit, delivering layers of tropical fruit and bright citrus supported by a clean, neutral malt foundation of light bread and grain. Despite its hazy appearance, the beer maintains the characteristic drinkability of the style, balancing its hop-forward nature with a moderate, refreshing bitterness. The result is a balanced and expressive ale with a crisp, lingering finish of sun-ripened berries.
Appearance. Pale golden (6 SRM) with a moderately large, frothy white head that shows good retention and lacing. The appearance is characterized by a significant haze, ranging from slight to opaque, deviating from traditional clarity for a modern presentation.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by Strata, providing notes of passion fruit, strawberry, and a resinous, cannabis-like dankness. A low, neutral grainy maltiness provides a supportive background. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.
Taste. The flavor is hop-forward, mirroring the aroma with vibrant tropical fruit, melon, and citrus. A low to moderate bready malt character supports the hop flavors without adding sweetness. Moderate bitterness provides balance, leading to a medium-dry, clean finish where hop oils and fruit notes linger pleasantly.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. Refreshing and drinkable with no alcohol warmth or hop-derived astringency.

BREWERY INFO
SMALL BATCH BREWING CO -The brewery began in 2020 with a 50-litre fermenter in a garden room. Their first release, Fruit Salad Waterfall, was quickly followed by Between Worlds, and rising demand led to the purchase of larger brewing equipment. Within a year, they aimed to expand into a dedicated unit. In a bold move, the founder sold their house to fund the venture. However, rising costs in ingredients, utilities, and rent made it clear that operating in a commercial space wasn’t sustainable.Instead, they built a purpose-designed brewery in the garden of their new home, now equipped with four 300-litre fermenters and a 300-litre, three-vessel kit. A new website and web shop are launching soon, with updates on events and new beers shared via social media. Continued support means everything as they keep making good beer for great people.
