Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton England on 29th August 2009. Pale golden with a white effervescent head of foam. Exquisitely hoppy with floral aromas and well balanced grassiness in the main kick - this being offset by soothing feelgood malt. Refreshing and easy drinking on a crisp, mildly textured mouthfeel. At the Evening Star, Hophead is served on its absolute best, and always knocks me sideways with its flavour at such a low strength. Superb and one of my favourite beers of all time.

Cask at GBBF ’09, light gold with a bubbly white head. A good floral hop aroma. A mouthfeel that does a good job of balancing the hops and malt. The citrus bite increases through the swallow.

Hazy yellow with a small white head. Fruity and grainy aroma with some wheat notes. Sweet grainy malt flavour with a touch of pear, and a long hoppy finish

Draught at OT. Almost as light as a lager. Realy nice foam for a hand pumped real ale. Small arom of flowers and yeast. Fresh citrus, fruity taste. Big drinkability.

Fresh at the brewery in Sussex. A golden coloured ale with a reasonable white head. Aroma of hops. Crisp tasting hoppy ale with citrus taste. An incredibly tasty beer for such a low ABV. You can drink a gallon of this and feel fine the next morning!
