Green Hop

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to copper in color, reflecting the moderate caramel malt backbone. The beer presents good clarity with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with deliberate lacing. Carbonation is gentle and steady, appropriate for a cask-conditioned Best Bitter tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh herbal character—green and leafy—a direct result of hops harvested mere hours before brewing. Bright citrus notes emerge alongside the herbaceousness, with undertones of caramel malt sweetness providing balance. No harsh vegetal notes; instead, the aroma speaks of immediacy and direct farm-to-brewhouse provenance.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and slightly sweet, carried by soft caramel malt character. The mid-palate develops a pleasing herbal and citrus complexity from the green hops, while a restrained but present bitterness builds steadily. The balance tips toward the herbal-bitter side without dominating; the malt sweetness acts as a counterweight throughout.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering herbal and bitter notes that fade cleanly. A gentle drying sensation from the hops persists into the aftertaste, leaving a dry and refreshing impression without astringency.
