COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - March/April 2007 (One Hop Series).
Each beer features a single variety of hop from around the world. Every beer in the series undergoes five separate additions of the particular hop into the brew kettle. All the beers will have the same degree of hoppy bitterness, and drinkers are able to compare the aroma, flavour, and pleasing aftertaste of each of the varieties. Instead of using specialty malts that might mask the flavour of the hop, only Maris Otter pale malt is used. Maris Otter is the finest strain of malt available. With only pale malt used, there is little to come between the hop lover and the hop.

Cask@London Drinker 07. Quite a green, peppery hop character, fairly grassy. Quite non-descript otherwise. Light, and crispish. Drinkable, but perhaps a little bit unexciting.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - APR 13, 2007
Cask gravity London Drinker BF 07. Gold colour with thin head. Bit of cat’s pee. Astringent. Bit farty. Typical One Hop series beer with pale malts in the mouth, some dryish finish. Not the best. Bit thin really on the hop.

Cask at The Wenlock Arms. Aroma of light hop. Light amber color. Starts light and fruity, with very light malt. The finish is wonderfully fruity hop.
