"Crop rotation in the 14th century was considerably more widespread after John". Might have helped the hops industry. These ones are very fruity, lots of tropical notes. Not overdone here, although its hidden strength might also have a subduing effect.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 11 Sep 2024) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with tropical fruit, candied pineapple, orange peel and toffee. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, candied pineapple and papaya, black-currant, winegum and a balanced herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Refreshing. Nice one.
