COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special (One Hop series) - January 2004.English Progress hop variety.
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. Whole hops are then added to the “hopback”, in which the hot brew passes on its way to the fermenter. 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 at the Oxford, near Kentish Town tube station.
Pours a pale golden colour with small white head, dusty nose. The taste is fruity, hoppy and slight malty with cereals and citric notes. Quite watery palate.

Like Silk Tork, I wasn't overly impressed with this. Pale gold colour. Some spicy hop notes in the aroma and a citric edge on the palate, but the flavours are not very well defined. Quite assertive bitterness came through at the end. An interesting idea, but I wonder whether the Progress hop just doesn't have the character to produce a really interesting beer on its own. Cask (gravity), London Drinker beer festival.

SilkTork (4737) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - MAR 19, 2004
London Drinker. Gravity. Light orange. Slightly greasy caramel aroma. Orange flavours. Tangy. Not a lot happening with the malt - and the hops are more muddy than earthy and citric. Poor effort.
