A PARTICULARLY PECULIER COLLABORATION
What happens when you collide one of the UK’s most iconic ales with a fiercely respected IPA? You get Peculier Assassin—a bold and adventurous collaboration between two Yorkshire greats, Theakston and Rooster’s.
Blending the rich, fruit-laden depth of Old Peculier with the juicy, tropical hop character of Baby-Faced Assassin, this is a beer where heritage meets rebellion. Deep ruby-brown in colour, it opens with layers of dark cherry and treacle toffee, lifted by vibrant notes of mango, apricot, and citrus.
Smooth and medium-bodied, it balances velvety roasted malts and caramel sweetness with a lively, resinous hop bitterness. The finish is long, warming, and irresistibly moreish—a seamless fusion of classic Yorkshire character and modern hop intensity.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-brown in the glass, Peculier Assassin opens with an inviting nose of black cherry, toffee, and caramel, lifted by bright hints of mango, apricot, and citrus from its American hop influence. Smooth and well-rounded, it delivers a harmonious balance of rich malt character and vibrant hop freshness.
The finish is long and moreish, seamlessly marrying the depth and heritage of classic Yorkshire ale with a modern twist of tropical hop intensity.
