Description
Hopmonster beers characterise the ‘alter ego’ of Mark (George’s Brewery) and are therefore more hop forward and aggressive on the pallet. Which compliment the more traditional styles found in the George’s range.

Hopmonster was brought about by us knowing that we wanted to experiment with ingredients and hops to try and produce more funky ales than most drinkers would expect in their glass of traditional beer.

Cask at the GBBF - 08/08/12. Golden with a small white head which retained well. Great fresh hop aroma, citrus notes and a little grass. The hops were a lot more toned down in the taste which was a shame, a little grain and pale malt. Medium bodied with a bitter dry finish.
