When we started we were (and still are) huge fans of hops and there just weren't enough brewers in the UK using them, even though that sounds ridiculous in today's beer world. So, rather than moaning into our beer, we thought we'd do something about it and brew some of our own! Over time as the beer scene evolved, there was less need for our style of hoppy beers since everyone was brewing with them so we evolved too and widened our style portfolio.

Bottle thanks to Gazza at Kernel. It pours orange with a foamy white head. The nose is herbal, menthol, juicy orange citrus fruit and pine. The taste is juicy orange citrus fruits, wood, resin, oily hop, some herb, hay and spice, with a long bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I like this even though it has Sorachi in it!

Bottled@Chriso. Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is ashes, dark fruits, some berries and mild ashes. Flavour is caramel, fruits, ashes, some slight liquorice and roasted malts. Balanced. Rather hoppy, but not overhopped!

Bottle @ RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting at Dean Swift. It’s a light hoppy beer with decent body. Carries the hops well.

Bottled at chriso’s. Cloudy pale golden, brief coarse head. Big time tropical fruit hop aroma. Dry and slender, intensely hoppy with swetay peach and pineapple. Massive bitterness. A nuclear hop bomb.

Bottled at chriso´s. Hazy deep golden, small head. Oily citrus and gooseberry aroma. Hpo driven with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Mid sweet with pears and black currant. Really bitter finish, but would never have been able to guess that the IBU was this high.
