Hopton Bitter |
From assistant brewer,"Kiwi" Kelly Ryan:
"Hopton is brewed using Pilgrim as the initial bittering hop and then Bramling Cross from Tony Redsalls hop farm in Herefordshire as the second bittering and aroma hop. We hand-picked the hops from his farm as they were a lot better than any other Bramling Cross we had nosed. We use Vienna, Amber and Maris Otter Pale Ale malt in this beer."
Tasting notes: "A burnt gold English Pale Ale brewed with the latest crop of Pioneer and Bramling Cross hops. Some malt present in the nose with a hint of lime and lemon peel. Medium bodied with some biscuit character and more citrus present in the mouth. The finish shows a clean bitterness with a touch of lingering grassiness."
