Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml clear glass bottles @ 5.0%. Occasionally available in cask. Has been brewd at 4.6%
The aptly named, "Double Drop", is brewed using just one type of English Barley - Maris Otter - which was harvested from Fuggle Farm in Norfolk. Uniquely, double dropping brings out the full flavour of this one melt, often described as "the king of brewing barley". The double dropping technique allows only the most vigorous yeast to survive and results in a cleaner fermentation process and a fresher, brighter beer. Double dropping involves "dropping" the beer during fermentation from one vessel to another, normally after 24 hours.

(Cask, Charlies Bar, Copenhagen) - Light orange/amber colour. Malty and slightly fruity nose. Fairly fruity, hoppy and slightly sweet taste, with a clean dry aftertaste.

Bottle from Morrisons. Amber. Aroma of caramel, sulphur, hop, cardboard. Some hop in the finish. Boring.

Just excellent, unexpectedly tops almost everything I’ve tasted. Hard to explain what is so special in this beer - but it is truly majestic !

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slighlty fruity and sweet. The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy combined with notes of fruits, like a mixed fruit bowl. The end is dry and rather bitter.

Golden colour, no head tho! Quite a flowery,hoppy nose. Fairly malty palate, hoppy finish. Not much happening here, so not much to say! Morrison, Edinburgh.

Cask conditioned at Charlies. Deep golden coloured. Mild fruity aroma. Sweet fruity flavour with some hoppiness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel.

Double hopped style done reasonably well. Light amber / copper in the glass. Old fashion nose; malty, coppery. Mild mouth with a classic broad malty feel. Quite subtle except for the finish where the hops make their presence felt. Good enough but lacks punch early.

15 Oct 2004 - Strong hoppy a slight spicy aroma. Clear amber-red colour, lowish head and a low suds lacing. Low fruit, floral, dry finish, low sweetness, full mouthfeel and too bitter for me.
