A new seasonal version of our classic Hop Gremlin. Building on our well-established blend of six types of US hops (Chinook, Otto, Cascade & Citra leaf plus Citra & Cascade pellets), we’ve added UK Olicana hops to give it tropical fruit tones!

As with the original Hop Gremlin, this is an unfined IPA and therefore for Vegans.

Bottle, many thanks chriso! Rather clear almost amber color with eggshell head. Aroma is toffee, lightly grassy. Taste is toffee, grassy, earthy, leafy, bitter finish. Oily mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Alright, though probably a bit too old.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours unclear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds apricot, pine, melon. Light sweet flavour, some husky bitterness, grass, toasted malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Harsh and astringent in the finish, more grass and grains, toasted malts, light caramel, pine. Not good.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours amber with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is earthy, grassy, straw, grainy, floury bread, spice and cereal. The taste is dry, bitter, metallic twang, earth, leather, chewy, tannin, stewed black tea, grassy, leafy and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit grainy and raw. Not great...
