COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Previously 5.0%.
First brewed in 2002 Double Hop was created by David Robinson (5th generation of the Robinson family) who is a particular fan of hoppy well balanced ale. With a delicious double hit of the finest Kent aroma hops, at two different stages in the brewing process, this packs a punch.
Unsurprisingly appreciation for Double Hop is soaring - this is a richly flavoured classic golden bitter beer with an interesting balance of hop flavour and hop bitterness.
Double Hop is a full bodied beer with rich malt with hop taste and a long lingeringly hop dominated with tangy citric fruit and a roasted malt finish.... perfect!

Aroma: Very mild aroma. Hay and earthy hops.

Appearance: Clear amber body with a small white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing.

Taste: Soft peach, wood, resin and malt flavours. Pleasant but dull.

Palate: Thin to medium body with a very oily mouthfeel. Flat carbonation.

Overall: Easy drinking but boring.

Old Bell, Fleet Street Nov 12. Nicholson Festivaløl. Mørk gyldenbrun. Lavt skum. Svak aroma. Smaken vasen. Litt malt. Antydning til frukt i ettersmaken. Kjedelig.

Rune (6125) - Tromsø, NORWAY - DEC 1, 2012
Half pint pulled from cask at the Old Bell Tavern. Crystal clear amber coloured body. Tiny patches at the surface. Floral fruity nose. Malt-fruity taste. Subdued bittersweet ending. Soft in the mouth. Ok, rather anonymous, though (London, 01.11.2012).

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 24, 2012
Cask conditioned at The Crown, Oxford. Amber with white head. Tart and slightly sour beer, cider apples came to mind. Didn’t get the hop impact at all. Not very good.

mike_77 (1960) - NETHERLANDS - AUG 29, 2012
Light brown colour. It has the typical Robinsons woody, apple pip taste. There’s a good hint of hop but considering the name this is relatively mildly flavoured.

Deep golden color withslight coppery tint, slightly floral and caramel aroma. Slightly sweet with floral notes and caramel malt, creamy on palate.

Frenger (367) - Derby, Alabama, ENGLAND - JUN 2, 2012
Off cask at a pub in glossop. Ok I guess, quite citrussy and a little bit of hops. Not bad for the strength.

worldbeertaste (1121) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - APR 5, 2012
Copper with a thick white lasting head. Light malt and hops with a flowery element. Smooth med body. Tastes a lot like Unicorn but more hoppy bitter on the finish. Sweet caramel malt with some fruit. Not bad.
