Current description: Hopping Hare is thrice hopped with three types of hop used during the brewing process. Aromatic Goldings and Cascade combine to provide an uplifting citrus-grapefruit and floral aroma, whilst First Gold carries the bitterness. The effect is a refreshing ale with a unique hoppy aroma and well-balanced bitterness that is bound to satisfy! It is a terrific match with roast lamb and spicy Thai dishes!

Previous description: Triple hopped - Super Styrian hops added twice to the coppers then Styrian Goldings added.

Bottle from Waitrose, West Byfleet. Malty aroma with a floral element and some spice. Light brown. Frothy white head soon fades. Medium bitter. A berry sour streak. Light bodied. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Perfectly pleasant but no more than that.
