As we're gradually edging closer and closer toward a core range finally dropping, we wanted to make a little end of summer showcase to some of our favourite hops of 2021 in a series that we hope will become a yearly release every August. We seemed to fully embrace Idaho7 when it first dropped onto our radars in early 2020, and then all of a sudden it vanished. The latest crop has made us fully converted Idaho-heads however, and we've absolutely loved using it in our beers this year. A varietal that positively bursts with tropical flavours a-plenty, this beer is pure and unadulterated pineapple juice - the only thing missing from it is a mini-parasol and sparkler to complete that holiday vibe. A laid back, super moreish pale, and a high point for this burgeoning range.

Brilliant white foamy head stayed on an ultra hazy pale golden body. Punchy sweet citrus aroma. Medium bodied, smooth, soft & clean the back. Bitter/Sweet citrus, oats, herbal & peach tastes with a big hopped up finish. Absolutely tremendous.

Can picked up at Art & Craft SW16 Mk 2 and drunk at home (04/12/2021) - hazed up golden orange with a white head. Medium sweet fruity with notes of red grapefruit, pineapple, more citrus fruit, sweet pale malts, medium body, piney light bitter hoppy close. Tasty and crushable.

440ml can from Harry Tuffins, Craven Arms, drunk from the can in the pouring rain with the TMBB crew after a night ride at Hopton Woods. No comment on appearance, but does have a lovely pungent tropical fragrance out the can. Super fruity tropical character. Really flavoursome with some mango stonefruit and pink grapefruit emerging. Great stuff.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Murky golden body with a white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of fresh apricot and straw. Flavour of pineapple and orange. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Fresh and juicy.
