Brewed with WGV (Whitbread Golding Variety) hops.
Once a year in September, during the picking of the hops, we can brew a beer with wet or 'green' hops. This means that the freshly harvested hops are not dried but immediately used for brewing. As fresh as it gets!
The concept is the same every year: we schedule a brewday during the hop harvest upfront and brew with the hops that will be picked on that day. When we set the date, we don't know yet which hop variety this will be. The recipe is the same each year, only the hop changes. So each year the beer gets a different hop taste and bitterness.
We brewed our Single Green for the first time in 2012.

75cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Slightly hazy orange color, full sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Smell malts, lightly some fruits and some faded old hops. Taste malts, lightly hops, slightly some bitter, a touch of fruityness. Average body, firm carbonation.
