Brewery: Badger
Brewer's Description: "Hopping Hare is thrice hopped with three types of hop used during the brewing process. Aromatic Goldings and Cascade combine to provide an uplifting citrus-grapefruit and floral aroma, whilst First Gold carries the bitterness. The effect is a refreshing ale with a unique hoppy aroma and well-balanced bitterness that is bound to satisfy! It is a terrific match with roast lamb and spicy Thai dishes!"
Alc: 4.4% vol
Overall Rating: 8/10
Uniqueness: 5/10
Refreshing? 8/10
Should you try it? No. Not "you should". You must. This beer is just excellent, lovely hoppy aroma and taste but still a light easy-ish drink. Maybe this comparison is a bit loose, but this is what lager ought to taste like if it had more of a flavour.
Incidentally, this is one of the most accurate brewer's descriptions I have seen of any beer. Though, I didn't try it with lamb or a spicy Thai dish. Maybe next time I'll try it with the recommended cuisine and it'll be even better.
