Long Tail Green Hop Light Ale is a delicious pale ale. We are very lucky to be located right at the heart of Kent’s hop-growing region. Not only do we get to see those lovely bines in all their glory, but every September at harvest time we get to brew a very special kind of beer – green hop beer.
On brew day, we’re in the hands of the farmer, so this year she presented us with Challenger Hops. A spicy, cedar, green tea aroma with sweet floral flavour notes
When hops are dried, they lose some of their precious aroma. But if you use them freshly picked from the farm, before they’ve been dried, they give beer a special and unique flavour. This is the magic of green hops, but that magic is also short-lived as the hops must be used within hours of picking, so this beer can only be brewed at harvest time.
