Last weekend, I visited a few pubs with a mate. Normally laid back, there is, it transpires, one thing that raises his blood pressure:‘I can’t stand American hops — why does everything have to taste of bloody grapefruit!?’
So, in the next place, when I ordered Dark Star Hophead and he said, ‘Same,’ I held up a hand with a heroic flourish.
‘No! You probably want this one.’ That being a best bitter with English hops.
It seemed*counter-intuitive — Hophead is a classic! — but he loved*his caramel-sweet malt bomb, and I felt, smugly, that I’d done the*noble*thing.
