In early September the hops we grow on our little field, in the village of Chelsworth, become ready for picking. The hop oils and aromas are all around you when handpicking in the September sunshine, so we decided to brew a beer to let these fresh green hops shine as well. Only our organically grown Suffolk hops and barley malt were used in the brew. The beer was primary fermented with a Saison yeast strain and then a secondary fermentation, in oak barrels, with our own locally collected wild yeast. The resulting beer is dry with mouth coating of hop oils and pepper, orchard fruit flavours are at the fore with more funky spice from the yeast on the finish.

Bottle from Salt Horse. Pours a clear, still pale gold. Peppery and funky aromas, light pear note. Taste is vinous, white grapes, sour funk, white pepper. Shame it was flat, but quite tasty.

Bottle from Hoptimism. Crisp vinous aroma. Light and cloudy amber gold. Bubbly white translucent head. Visibly bubbly. Sour. Cat's bum lips sour. Suprisingly so, but I'm not complaining. More of a spicey Saison flavour lingers in the finish. Light and thin bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish - it really does dry the mouth out. Good stuff.

Cask at Affinity. Pours lightly hazy orange-gold with minimal head. The nose has saltybsweat, lemon, wheat, soft funk. Light sweet flavour with moderate acidity, lemon, more sweat. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with a little bracing acidity, more lemon and sweat, hints if boozy warmth. Not bad.
