Cask; Special - May 2013 (Single Hop series).

Single Hop Beer.
A ‘new’ English hop, with a nice floral/fruity flavour profile. Back in the 20′s / 30′s (and earlier) many new varieties of hops were bred and trialled. Many were rejected as brewers were reporting unpleasant flavours, including citrus notes. Today of course, many smaller brewers and drinkers go bandy for such flavours, and have to rely on USA/New Zealand/Australian sources for hops with these characteristics. So, these old rejected trial varieties are being re-discovered and brought back into commercial use. Still waiting for that Summit level of hop punch though…
