Green Hop Ernest, this is our first experience with Ernest Hops which is described as a ‘New World’ Hop which for British Hops can sometimes struggle to stand alongside those Pacific Northwest & New Zealand Fruity, Juicy, Citrus Hops.

So we decided to keep this recipe simple to allow the Ernest Hops to shine through to achieve that we used Extra Pale Malt as the base as it imparts little flavour into the beer, 15% Oats in the mash to give this beer plenty of body and mouthfeel and a touch of Carapils to add some colour.

Well we think this is the best Green Hop Beer we have ever produced, its full of flavour Apricot & Grapefruit, Ernest we salute you and you have certainly opened our eyes

Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear 2024 - Hackney. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with expressive hop notes, peach, tangerine, white grape, a little oily bitterness, clean pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Balanced finish, some semi-ripe lemon, more peach, melon, dry pale malts. Sound.
