Inspired by the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich, where Hop Stuff was born.

This is the historic site where ammunition and artillery were made for WWI and II. It was a bleak time, so workers were permitted ‘four hour sessions’ of beer to boost morale – without getting steamed.

As such, this is a genuine IPA with a sessionable ABV and bitterness. It keeps its hoppy aromas and oaty body without knocking you off your chair. A juicy, fruity brew built for anyone.

Can from CBB in Osaka. This may be an alternate for their regular Session IPA I guess. Made with Rakau, Mosaic and Columbus hops. A clear copper color with a dense soapy head of foam. It has a nice aromatic fruity hop bouquet. The taste is more bitter than expected, the hops may also have over layed some butterscotch diacetyl. Quite disappointing, especially other the 600¥ or so price. As this warmed up the rating went in the crapper as this became a diacetyl mess of butterscotch sweetness verging on undrinkable.

Hazy golden color with a fine white top. Ok lacing. Nice hoppy intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation level. Easy to drink. Ok bitterness versus sweetness. Grapefruit hoppy, fruity and pine in the flavor. Nice tasty and session able beer. Lasting tail.

33cl can from Beer52.com. A light amber pour with a loose white head; dusty citrusy aroma; dry body with an assertive woody bitterness; and a long dry, slightly rasping finish. A very drinkable session IPA.
