Magic Rock Rapture Red Hop Ale (33cl can) NV
Yorkshire
A full-bodied malty ale, perfectly balanced by a lift of grapefruit, lemon and pine notes. It’s a blend of five types of malt and six varieties of hop from the innovative Magic Rock brewery, carefully blended to be satisfying, yet dry and crisp.

If you’re an ale aficionado, you’ll recognise the distinctive Magic Rock design. This achingly cool brewery was set up in 2011 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, by brothers Richard and Jonny Burhouse, ably assisted by head brewer Stuart Ross. Trendy they may be but it’s not a case of style over substance – a year after opening, they were named second best new brewery in the world by independent ratings site RateBeer. Such has been their success, production has tripled in 7 years. Rapture, as its name suggests, is a heavenly drop, combining malts Cara Red, Dark Crystal, Golden Promise and Vienna with hops Amarillo, Columbus, Magnum and Simcoe. It’s deliciously malty, yet cuts through the richness with citrus and resiny notes and a dry finish.
