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!

Bottle at home from Sainsbury. A strong aroma of fresh cut grass on opening the bottle, but that quickly faded. A fairly wishy-washy look in the tankard and some lacing. The taste was bitter hops, somewhat skunky and not something that I dug. It was a bit harsh and the mouthfeel wasn't great. Overall it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed.

Clear golden beer, decent white head that soon reduces to being thin and filmy. Aroma is tangy citrus. Flavour has a bit of that with caramel, some bitter hop and a slightly musty aftertaste with a just a hint of the lingering tang. Feels a bit watery in the mouth. It's okay, no more than that.

Bottle. Poured dark gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, caramel, flowers, biscuit and hop. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Light to medium body, slight oily and watery texture, soft carbonation.

50cl bottle. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Nose - a bit butterscotch to be honest. Then it clears and thereโs honey and a grassy note. Taste - a bit fresher. Some citrus as well as the honey. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - not worth getting another.
