Here at the Hop Hooligans Institute we take great pride on messing with other people’s cultures, especially the most taboo of their rituals.
So we hope that Japanese tea masters will be able to manage with Earl Grey or chamomile during their fancy ceremonies, because we stole their precious whole leaf green tea for a special brew.
Hops can take a break, but just for a second or so, because there’s a new fruity, aromatic botanical in the house.
So take a deep bow and welcome Sencha into your lives.
And into your gullets.

500ml can. Hazy golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of green tea, herbal, mild citrus and peachy notes. Taste is the same, green tea is quite prominent, herbal, peachy, citrus. Medium body, soft carbonation. Really didn't expect to like this as much as I did, well made.

Tap at Beeryard 3. Golden body, white head. Smells like Nestea peach ice tea. Tastes like Nestea peach ice tea, but perhaps not as sweet. Not really herbal, but very much pungent and tasty. One of the surprise "winners" at the festival according to most people I've spoken with.

Bottled 500ml. -Shiny yellow/golden coloured, medium sized white head, mild herbal and peachy nose. Mild malty, peachy, apricot, light bready and slightly herbal with notes of green tea and mild bitter finish. Tasty but a bit too light.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles' place. Thanks Lior D. Slightly hazy golden. Surprising aroma of mostly apricot popsicle. Flavor has some sweetish malt, some green tea, some apricot popsicle, bitter finish.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Hazy amber, off-white head. Smells like fruit flavored green tea bags, bubble gum, peach jam - fairly unbeery. Similar flavour, less bubble gummy and slightly bitter - a strong, overdone green tea kind of bitterness. Light biscuit malts too. Feels a bit artificial, but drinks well, like a light hoppy ale with a strange hop profile.
