Commercial Description:

This is a single hop varietal ale, brewed using the finest English Fuggles from the hop gardens of Kent. Golden in colour, this is a full-bodied ale, rich in taste, with a distinctive hop character.

Cask somewhere during my Southwark pub crawling. Clear copper, small white head and good lacing. Unsweetened toffee, tree branches and light peppery finish. Well made but boring. Can we just forget about this Kentish beer like we have forgotten the Kentish english dialect.

May, 2005. JDW, Rochester. Fresh, delicate and very tasty. Malt is fat and juuicy, yet not greasy or clinging, nor too sweet. The hops are crisp, aromatic yet soft and teasing. This is one of the best Shep’s beers I’ve had.

Cask @ County Hotel (JDW) Ashford. Caramel in colour, Shepherd Neame distinctive yeast nose and citric nose. Malty caramel and fullish in mouth with slightly dry finish, slightly earthy. For a Sheps beer, I quite liked it

Cask Conditioned at a JDW. Orange amber beer with bubbly white head. It’s surprising that Sheps have retained this beer just for JDW Festivals, much more could be made of it. There is a dusty hoppiness throughout, the same flavour you get from chewing a hop bud, perhaps a little overwhelming, but it is definitely Fuggles. A light crisp base to carry the flavour, which it does well. On the drier side, very enjoyable.

Cask @ Giddy Brige (JDW), Soton. Light earthy hop aroma with hint of woddy liqourice. Dry with quite high acidity persisting into the finish.

Cask at Lord Moon of the Mall, Whitehall, London. Hopsy and caramelly. On the stronger side in its mettle.
