I picked in the Kent hop-gardens as a kid and the smell of them is in my blood. I brought pieces of root with me when we moved to Lincolnshire over 30 years ago and it flourished here in the rich soil... now each September the fruiting heads are everywhere in the garden, throughout the hedges and the trees. Years ago Moira used to make the most beautiful golden wine from these hops and this beer reminded me of that favourite wine, with the resinous bitter tang lingering on the tongue. It's a golden colour, like the 'Wild Hare' pale ale, but stronger-tasting and more bitter. And only £1.25 a bottle in ALDI!!
