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.

Handbottle from the brewer at RBESG Grand Tasting, held at Dean Swift. Aroma of lemon, cream, light malts. Bright yellow color. Hoppy flavor, slight funk, grass and hay. Yeasty but crisp. Interesting and nice.

Hand bottle from Gazza at RBESG Grand Tasting, held at Dean Swift. Fruity aroma, mango, orange, peach, other tropical fruits. Very light malt, but great bitterness: fruity and dry, with a burning, grassy finish. Does great for 3.2%

[Cask at Reading beerfest] Gold, moderate white head. Floral and pine aroma, sour and bitter grapefruit taste. A little pepper in the finish. Very thin and watery - for me this was all hops and no balance. Sorry Gazza, really wanted to like it!

Mason & Taylor single hop fest. Light pale gold beer, no head. Light dry palate. Good fresh hops with a lingering bitter aftertaste. Full of hoppy goodness but the condition seems a bit off.

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2011. Gold clear lasting thin bubbly white head. Simcoe and Citra on the aroma. This is good. Better than the BAGS I thought. Really easy drinking delightfully hoppy beer. Tasty hoppy beer.

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2011. Clear pale ish gold colour with lasting bubbly white head. Lots of Chinook on the aroma. Touch of rubber later on with the hops. Quite light on the malts as you would expect. Lovely hoppy finish. Just that touch of rubber. Good though.
