COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - October.
The hop harvest in September provides a unique opportunity to brew a beer with fresh hops gathered directly from the hop bine because hop flavour and aroma degrade during drying packing and storage. This beer uses wild hops for aroma which have been collected from gardens and hedges around Maldon which are luscious green when first picked – hence the name King Green Bitter.

Slightly hazy deep amber beer, small white head. Small black bits in the bottom of the glass. Crisp dry palate. Possibly infected? A definite tangy Belgian yeasty cola thing going on. A touch of hops. It’s not completely unpleasant and I really like the idea of the gathering of wild hops but this doesn’t taste as I think it was intended. Must try another!
