Hobdens Wessex Merrie Mink

Formerly brewed at Wessex
Style: Bitter
Warminster, England

Cask handpull at Brew Wharf, London, 20 June 2008. Sherberty hop aroma which I like. Odd bleachy flavour in mouth and finish, which I didn’t. Bit of ginger? Some diacetyl even. If it wasn’t for the sherberty hop, I’d throw it away. It’s oddly ok? No, it’s pants.

Hand pulled at The Anchor, Birmingham. Light brown colour, with a grassy aroma and no head or lacing. Well balanced beer, with an increasingly dry and bitter finish. Refreshing with generous bite. A hoppy and light experience.
