It's not straight-forward knowing how to list this beer. The lable includes 'GLBCo, binary Botanical. Hop leaves sourced in the English countryside are used to produce this rejuvenating alternative to beer or wine. Best enjoyed cold from a stemmed glass. Brewed for food. Table beer, 5 day infusion.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, wheat dextrose, hops, natural flavours.
Brewed and bottled at Hepworth Brewery, West Chiltington, Billingshust, RH20 1OJ.'
250ml. 4.0%. BB: 04/04/2020. Bought from Harvey Nicholls London £3.00

L- Very very pale straw with a very slight haze, and super-fine 5mm white head (later mostly cleard but leaves good lacing).
S- It smells like white wine, more specifically a quite fruity one like a chardonnay.
T- Oh heavens. The added dextrose does it no favours (as a beer!), and it has a strange musty taste at the front, and overall comes over like a poor quality/cheap sparkling wine. It also has apple notes to it too. All in all like nothing I've drunk before.
F- It's over-carbonated to me, perhaps infused rather than 'brewed in'. Together with the unorthodox dextrose vs malt it doesn't seem refreshing to me.
O- One of the more unusual 'beers' I've experienced. It's perhaps the least beer-like beer I've ever had.
