English Target hops give this beer a remarkable aroma. Late hopping with Goldings and
fermentation by the Brakspear yeast creates a remarkable zesty aroma, a full fruity flavour
and a golden colour. |

Prospect |
Shotover Brewery, Oxford |

Packed with a combination of English and new world hops to give a surprisingly big mouthfeel
and a striking dry hoppiness that is very moreish. A classic pale copper English bitter colour. |
Purists may wish to note that, because of limitations with setup time and the small size of
WOBFest, the beer is bought in bright in Polypins. But it is still very tasty!
