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, gift from my brother. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Very faint lacing. Aroma of green apple, marshmallow and a hint of white wine vinegar. Flavour of lemon, oak, gooseberry, apple sauce and lime. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Raw and interesting.

42nd floor beer share. Thanks to Dan the fishing man. Hazy paleish gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and mildly dry, reasonable carbonation. Smooth malts, light creamy sweetness. Bags of pineapple cubes! Sweetish floralness. Airy dry finish brings a little spicy pineapple. Doubt if it was supposed to taste like pineapple cubes but it’s quite pleasant!

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Daniel. Pours pours mostly clear yellow with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds grapefruit, white grape, melon, apple and light must. Light sweet flavour with citric notes, grassy bitterness, orange rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Musty finish, more citrus rind, pale wood, pithy grapefruit. Not bad.
