Small batch & special beers

• Pursecuted – punchy and hazy IPA, reasonably well bittered with an aromatic hop finish from plenty of Talus hops Alcohol 6.1%. Named after one of the stalwart customers, Mr Purser.
• Difficult Lover – version three of this popular beer. Named by my wife, Ryoko, because it starts sweet and finished bitter. You could describe it as on old school Anglo-Australian IPA. The hops in it are Pride of Ringwood and East Kent Goldings, and I’ve used an English yeast on it. There’s a nice lingering, arch across the back of the palate bitterness to it. And of course it’s nice and malty. Alcohol 5.8%.
