Bottle from The Hillside Brewery Shop, Longhope, Gloucestershire. New Label: ‘Hops For Tomorrow Pale Ale 3.8%abv’. Pours an almost clear light amber colour with a one finger fluffy white head. A little sprinkling of sediment in the glass with lively fine carbonation. Aromas of citrus fruits and floral hops. Taste has more citrus and floral with some added spice and herbal notes. There’s also a big grassy bitterness that lasts a long time on the finish. Lightish body with a fairly lively mouthfeel. Fresh and very hoppy beer. A summer thirst quencher. The bitterness on the end is a little too harsh for me personally.
