Copper Hop

Tap to rate

Copper in the glass and hoppy by nature: floral, barley-sugar aromas with citrus and tropical fruit, a fruity, creamy, malty taste, and Vienna and British caramalt as the backbone. Citra and First Gold are the hops. Long Man brews it at Church Farm in Litlington, in the South Downs National Park.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral and herbal character from Citra and First Gold hops, followed by inviting citrus and tropical fruit notes—lime, grapefruit rind, and stone fruit. A supporting layer of barley-sugar sweetness and subtle caramel from Vienna and British caramalt rounds out the bouquet without overwhelming the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with immediate hop bitterness (28 IBU) well-balanced by fruity Malz character and a gentle caramel backbone. The mid-palate remains fruity and full without heaviness, the malt providing body while the hops sustain a dry, clean finish. Bitterness resolves without harshness, leaving room for the underlying sweetness to linger.
