Green Hop Ernest, this is our first experience with Ernest Hops which is described as a ‘New World’ Hop which for British Hops can sometimes struggle to stand alongside those Pacific Northwest & New Zealand Fruity, Juicy, Citrus Hops.

So we decided to keep this recipe simple to allow the Ernest Hops to shine through to achieve that we used Extra Pale Malt as the base as it imparts little flavour into the beer, 15% Oats in the mash to give this beer plenty of body and mouthfeel and a touch of Carapils to add some colour.

Well we think this is the best Green Hop Beer we have ever produced, its full of flavour Apricot & Grapefruit, Ernest we salute you and you have certainly opened our eyes Read Less

A delicious Double Dry Hopped IPA, using Citra / Mosaic / Simcoe / Azacca / Idaho 7 Hops in the Whirlpool, this beer was hopped very late to give a very gentle bitterness but maximum hop flavour, we also dry hopped the beer with Mosaic & Simcoe hopes to ramp up the aroma and flavour.
