MANDARIN is our fruity winter favourite. Every year we get fresh Bavaria Mandarina hops from the Hallertau region of Germany. It’s these wonderful hops and the distinctive refreshing flavour of mandarin oranges that gives MANDARIN it’s citrus aroma.

Fra cask på Mossy Well: klar dyp gylden med fint skum som varer. Fin aroma og god smak preget av Bavaria Mandarina, en av mine favoritthumler. God bitterhet i avslutningen.

33cl bottle from Budgens, Sunningdale, at 4.7% ABV. A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a billowing cream coloured head; lovely mandarin aroma; quite lively in the mouth with a mellow orange taste and a strong straw-like bitterness giving a well-balanced body; then a dry, but rather thin, long-lasting finish. This is definitely one of my favourite hops.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Hazy orange-amber with a small white head. A light orangey flavour with sweet malts, caramel and a little toast. Very smooth but lacks oomph. It’s like sweet industrial marmalade on toast- I would prefer a darker, more bitter home-made marmalade on my toast please.
