A UK hop variety with pronounced New World characteristics, Ernest is named after its breeder, Prof Ernest Salmon. Expect complex flavours and predominantly fruity notes of apricot, citrus and spice from this UK single varietal.
As Oscar Wilde may or may not have said – “At Oakham, we have now realised for the first time …… the vital Importance of Brewing with Ernest.”

Gravicask, half pint, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Super clear warm golden body, bubbles on the surface, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of grass and leafy hops. Mixed fruity flavours of green hops and with a citric touch, semi dry malty base to it. Mid-bitter fruity endnotes. Satisfying. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

På St. Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Delt med Rune. Mørk stråfarget. Klar. Luftig skumring. Fruktaroma - med hint av malt. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørket frukt. Tørr, lett bitter avslutning.

Cask at the St Albans beer festival 2023. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a fading loose greyish head. Aroma is semi sweet, interesting green hop, hedgerow, pine, weed. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, nutty malts, pine, green liquorice, lime zest, woody citrus. Nice English hop character. Assertive hop bitterness. Palate is semi sweet, resin, good cask condition.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 25th September 2023, Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Clean golden body, white crown. Yet another citrusy hopped beer, new hop variety for me (I think). Nothing wrong with this, just getting a little bored with the endless golden beers tasting of citrus fruits.
