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.

Cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury. Hazy pale golden. Intense tropical fruit aroma. Mid sweet with light body and soft mouthfeel. Mint and pears, grapefruit and black currant. Long bitterness. Nicely drinkable despite being massively hoppy.

Bottle at a tasting. Pours dark brown, a bit flat. Heavy citrus hops in the nose, some pine resin, some chocolatey roast. Medium sweet flavor, dry and roasty, with notes of cocoa, along with heavy and sticky hops, giving medium to strong bitterness. Medium bodied with almost no carbonation. Big, sticky finish, some good roast in there, mild charred tobacco. Some cheese in the nose, and I like it. Oily body, too. Nice beer.
