Plymhop
A pale golden green-hop ale. Its hops are grown in Plymstock, close to the brewery, picked in September when conditions are right and brewed with the very next day. The malt bill and the bittering addition stay the same from year to year, but the flavour and aroma of the fresh cones shift with each harvest. The result is a fresh, distinctly hoppy beer of 4.3%, sold in bottle and in cask.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Plymhop
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.
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.
