Description
Hopjacker Brewery was a progressive new microbrewery based underneath the Dronfield Arms Free House, and produced exciting, hop forward beers. Situated in the town of Dronfield, this is approximately 5 miles south of Sheffield and 5 miles north of Chesterfield. The brewery was first started up in 2015 to produce more of the beers that the founders, John and Chris, loved - using specialist malts and hops from around the world to craft their beer. Brewing ceased in early 2020, but the Dronfield Arms, which had different ownership, continued on.

Bottle thanks to Dave at the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours slightly hazy gold with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, floral, orange, tangerine and orange blossom. The taste is crisp, bitter, orange peel, tangerine, orange blossom, straw and a touch of soap with a short, dry finish. Light- medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty nice.
