Hoppy enough to bounce you off planets. Well rounded bitterness subtle enough for a low orbit around your palate, but strong enough for a real satisfying drinking trajectory.

This unique beer is special due to very, very heavy late hopping in copper and extra special hops post fermentation. We’ve achieved the biggest hop burst of aroma ever. Massive. Galactic in fact.

This beer is on another planet.

Bottle from Morrisons, Queensbury, London. A hazy light golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes hoppy, citrus, quite bitter. Not much happening here much like the other Hardknott beers rather forgettable.

Bottle at home. Bought at Morrisons, Aldershot. Light and sweet citrus and hops aroma. But no hop burst. Light amber, a degree opaque. Big fluffy white head. Medium bitter. A lot of carbonation. Soft. A bit one noted - bitter from start to the dry finish. Grapefruit, tart berries, but restrained.
