Seven Hop

Tap to rate

Seven Hop is a 5% pale ale brewed with seven of the most sought-after whole-flower hop varieties from around the globe. Spicy orange, gooseberry and citrus fruits come first, then give way to summer berries and a light cedar finish. Cask supply is very limited and appears only in February and October.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and spicy hop character, particularly orange zest and a subtle peppery note from the seven-variety blend. Beneath lies a gentle gooseberry and soft stone-fruit suggestion, with the noble hops providing a refined, grassy undertone. Malt presence remains restrained, allowing the flower and fruit aromatics to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with citrus and berry fruit, followed by a moderate, clean bitterness that sits comfortably in the mid-range. A subtle cedar and oak dryness emerges in the mid-palate, adding structure without heaviness. The 5% ABV keeps the body light and refreshing, allowing the hop complexity and fruit character to remain in focus throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and moderate in length, with a lingering dryness touched by cedar and a fading berry note. A gentle, persistent bitterness and hop character round out the aftertaste without becoming astringent.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
