We started off by emptying our sack of Columbus as the First Wort Hop and followed this up with two charges of Galena, all of which combined to give a respectable 120IBU of smooth bitterness. At flame-off we then lobbed in (in a very carefully calculated and technical manner, obviously) over 3 kilos of a mix of Simcoe, Chinook, Pacific Jade, Citra and Nelson Sauvin. For good measure we dry-hopped the casks as well. All this was overlaid on our strongest ‘big kit’ brew wort yet (low colour Maris Otter and wheat malt), coming in at 5.7%.

Cask at the White Horse, Hedgerely, Bucks (August bank holiday mini beer festival). A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Decent hoppy, malty aroma. Tastes quite bitter, dry, tangy, hoppy, citrus fruit. Quite a lingering bitterness. Pretty good but a little too bitter for me.
