A kegged Green Hop Ale, stronger, and even hoppier than usual, to help it survive the journey across the Medway and out of Kent.
Eddie from Gadds' explains "We're a parochial brewery, our beer rarely leaving east Kent. That's partly because we enjoy great sales here in our heartland, partly because I have strong feelings about cask beer supply chains and partly because we don't actually know how to sell beer anywhere else. And maybe we're a little lazy too.
I want to change this a little. I want to send beer to London, and to the North. Beer that takes a little piece of Kent with it and tells people about the place where it's brewed. So I'm developing a small range of beers suitable for kegging and sending off to distributors, who know how to distribute. This is the first in the range, and I rather like it."

Keykeg at The Berry, Walmer, Kent, Saturday 12th March 2016 in the company of Ian (Harrisoni) Pours hazy amber with a white head. Maltiness has become the dominant feature here, the hops (Ian picks up Grapefruit) has subsided. Fine beer and perhaps a few months back the freshness would have taken this to another level, however on this showing its fine but doesn’t blow me away. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

On tap at Montefiore Arms Ramsgate. Hazy gold lasting thin white head. Hoppy aroma. English hops. It’s very good. Hops on aroma and strong on the finish with good bitterness. Some biscuit Gadds aroma and flavour. Good hop. Some golden syrup . Just a lovely green hop beer. Definitely a wow beer.
