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 at RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting at The Dean Swift, London. Pours a cloudy, pale yellow with a foamy, white head. Doughy malt nose, some lemon. Nice flavor, some grassy hops, light sweetness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nice bitterness lingers in the finish, along with crispy malts. Highly drinkable beer.

Cask at the White Horse, Hedgerely, Bucks (August bank holiday mini beer festival). A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Decent hoppy, malty aroma. Tastes quite bitter, dry, tangy, hoppy, citrus fruit. Quite a lingering bitterness. Pretty good but a little too bitter for me.
