The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500’s led to a moral panic. Hops were condemned as a “wicked and pernicious weed”, one which would lead to the erosion of social and moral standards. Thank goodness they were right. Here’s hoping that our homage to the original pernicious weed continues this gradual decline. Organic Rakau and whole cone Nelson Sauvin go head to head in this strong, golden, hoppy brew. Bitter, yes. Intensely hoppy, absolutely. Too much, never.

On tap at The Local Melbourne, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of melons, piney hops and biscuity malt. Flavour brings out loads of melony notes, truckloads of piney hops and a touch of biscuity malt to back. A bit of booze. Fantastic stuff.

Can shared at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell - London. Big thanks to Big Dave! Pours clearish gold. Lovely dank hops define this beer, with lots of grapefruit and urine in particular. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky and resinous on the finish, with some pine, piss, citrus fruits. Big and dank, but still balanced and highly drinkable. Outstanding.
