Description
#30 in the well loved Dry Hop Project (DHP) series of beers, championing British Hops. The DHP golden ales are always 4.8% but each one features a different UK hop. Our dry hopped beers are heavily late hopped and further enhanced by dry hopping - the process of placing hops directly in the cask when barrelling to increase the hop flavour and complexity of the beer. Some brewers dry hop in the fermenter or conditioning tank, but we think you get the maximum flavour from adding the hops to the cask, the old fashioned way. We make muslin bags, fill them with hops and add these flavour bombs at the barrelling stage! Mystic is a newly developed hop from Charles Farams, a daughter of the new hop Jester selected for its aroma, disease resistance and yield. Its a bold flavour, and in this latest dry hopped beer it gives a fresh flavour with citrus, blackcurrant and passionfruit notes, fruity and aromatic, we think this is going to be a very popular hop going forward. Will have slight hop haze from the dry hops in the cask.
