Early Bird Spring Hop Ale is brewed with the Early Bird single hop variety - hence the name! This light gold beer is full-bodied, distinctive and refreshing as a spring day, with a malty undertone.

Cask, JDW, 4th April 2008. Orange amber with a vanila & malt aroma and flavour. Average weight. A bit too like a vanilla soda and very forgettable.

Cask Conditioned at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Deep blond color, frothy head. The aroma is a bit soapy, and the flavor light and breadish. Too simple.
