A delicious British Bitter with malt, biscuit and bready flavours, accompanied by subtle notes of orange peel. Prop Hop is a golden bitter made with barley and Pale Rye malts, hopped with English hop variety Endeavour, also with a blend of other English hop varieties.

Adnams Prop Hop is brewed with English hops, celebrating the home country of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. A proportion of the sales from this beer are being donated to the ‘Matt Hampson Foundation‘, a charity set up by former England Rugby prop Matt ‘Hambo’ Hampson that inspires and supports young people seriously injured through sport.

Clear golden color with a white head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Caramel malty, herbal, mild fruity and mild citric flavor. Very session able stuff.

Handpull cask from the Castle Inn, Cambridge. Dark gold, with a tiny bit of head. Clear. Smells of sharp, raw grainy English hops, a tiny bit of sick. Luckily the taste is better than the smell: a rounded grassy bitter with light astringent notes. Long bitter finish with a savoury hop note lingering in the aftertaste. I can’t put my finger on why I dislike this so much. The balance is off, and I’m not a fan of the hops used, but it’s more than that. It’s just below what Adnams can and usually do produce.

Half-pint, cask at JDW Ivory Peg. Good lacing from a low white head. Clear amber-gold body. Leafy hops on the nose. Bread, caramel bite and leafy hops to the taste buds. Bittersweet tail. fresh and soft in the mouth. Fine with the English breakfast. Easy to drink (Chelmsford 17.02.2017).
