Here's the brewery blurb re the Hop Harvest Ale..
The brewers were knee deep in our hops for this special brew; using hops just harvested from our own vines which were then steeped in our conditioning vats for months, this is a traditional English style bitter in the ESB style. Copper in colour with a strong malt character, balanced by the use of our new seasons Willamette and Goldings hops to create a full hop flavour and aroma. The complex grain bill creates a full, rich and malty ale that has hints of marmalade and lashings of hop resin flavours, finishing with a peppery spicy note.
If it tastes even half as good as it did straight from the fermenter two weeks ago - it'll be a cracker. Any chance of some fresh hop flowers at the bar to 'dunk' - I'm having Hop Withdrawal!
