On cask at The Morning Star, Brighton.
Pours crisp champagne gold with loose white foam. Big musty footy nose. Sour cheese malts and herbal, cellary, funky hops. Lingering branch tightness. Clingy, light, soft with a dry linger.
Calling this an English Bitter to be consistent with the main HopHead listing, but it's probably somewhere between an English Blonde and an IPA.
Mad Citra hops. This is a single hop clinic. Doesn't show the big citrus I've come to expect from late Citra (like Torpedo) so I'm wondering if that's Citra as a bittering hop or the condition of the beer - the cask was tapped just before I tasted it, but this is a March seasonal release being tasted in early May. Having said that, though it was strong, it didn't taste stale or skunked.
Wouldn't stay on it all night but good proof of concept.
