An English style Bitter, brewed to celebrate cask ale brewing, the late-summer hop harvest, and the spicy-grass, earthy aromas which make green-hopped beers so unique.

Green Hop Bitter is brewed with fresh, unprocessed hops picked straight from the vines of Hukins Hops, a fourth generation independently owned hop farm in Kent.

The 2018 Green Hop Series was released in October 2018 and featured three different beers each showcasing a different Kentish Hop; Goldings, Fuggles and Bullion. The 2019 Green Hop Series was released in October 2020 featuring Bullion, Fuggles and for the first time Earnest, part of their experimental and ‘higher intensity’ British hop range.

Gravicask as English IPA, on the Eridge train station, Spa Valley 9th Beer & Cider Festival. Shared with Finn. Covering pearl white head, clear amber body, fair lacing. Floral hops and mild grainy malts on the nose. Fresh orange fruity taste supported by bread-like malts. Resinous bitterness to the ending. Well made considering the low abv. Nice. (Tunbridge Wells 18.10.2019).

Cask at Pigs Ear 2018, day one, 04/12/18. Golden copper with a decent off white head. Nose is grass, light vegetal notes, straw, hint of citric zest. Taste comprises crackers, grains, twiggy, grass clippings, biscuit, faint fruit esters. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Passable number ... least pleasing from this series for me.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern - Hackney. Pours well clear honey-gold with a dense, lasting creamy white head. Good stuff, has some rounded grassy hops, dry pale malts, a bit of husky pale grains, lemon peel. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more pale bread, grains, vague citrus, some musty hay. Enjoyable gear.
