December 2012. Czech Hop! Cultivated in the Bohemian lands for centuries which give its distinctive, earthy and fruity character. A ’noble hop’ that has been the inspiration for many other hop varieties, it is also known in the Czech republic as ’Zatec’, derived from the town where it originates.

Hand-pulled half-pint in my local Wetherspoons on 9th Jan 2013. Pale gold/yellow with a white head that produced some good lacing on my glass. Mild hop nose: some citrus notes along with dried grass (straw/hay) and boiled spuds. Dry in the mouth, its flavours were basic and boring: some hoppy natures but not a lot of anything for my taste buds to get excited about. I’ll just be nice and say no more.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Bright straw with a ring of white head; sweet and grainy aroma with a whiff of damp straw; soft and grainy in the mouth; with a pleasant, lingering, grassy bitterness.
