Harvey’s Brewery Wild Hop is ‘beautifully balanced, but a bit on the wild side’!

Brewed with the aptly named ‘Sussex Hop’ – originally discovered growing wild in a hedgerow in Sussex, but now cultivated as a variety in its own right. It is supplemented with Cascade hops grown in the UK.

Cask ale, half-pint shared with Finn at Royal Oak, Borough. Clear, warm golden body. Film-type layer leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Moderate aromas of pale malty sweetness and ripe fruits. Quite fine blended taste of earthy malts, herbal hops, and a citric support. Moments of malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Clean mouthfeel. Like it. (London, 29.09.2023).
