5th Sep 2012 and I’m in The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates: the only pub owned by the Ironbridge Brewery. This was one of their guest beers; I had a hand-pulled pint.
Light amber body below a full head of white bubbles, looked fine. As the name suggests this is a hop orientated brew; although having tried some American ‘Hop Monsters’, this isn’t in the same league. No where near as bitter or aromatic, but still extremely hoppy for the UK. I am not a huge hop lover but this went down very nicely and I would have had another if I hadn’t been on a mission to try more beers on the night.

On cask at the Hilden Beer Festival, 2012.
Great steady white sudsy froth over slightly cloudy bronze. Musty spicy grape and gooseberry nose - straight Nelson Sauvin.
Canteloupe, white pan, a bit of marmalade then sweet and sour citrus, honeydew, and yes, more gooseberry hops to end.
Grape skin and carambola finish and long, herbal (mint? coriander?) bitter finish. Soft, oily, round, light - medium, dry.
Nelson Sauvin master class. Proper hop hit with plenty of spice and plenty of bitterness. A bit harsh, and the 5% slows you down compared to most English summer ales. But this outstripped everything else at the festival.
