a swift one - Beer Of The Week 28 - Mallinsons 'CF127'

Visit the a swift one site

For my avid reader, you may recognise the CF127, showcased in week 22. It is new experimental hop, and on that occasion I was enthusiastic about the XT version of the beer made from it.

This week I have sampled the Mallinsons version, on several occasions and each time it has just got better. In fact it is certainly heading towards my beer of the year; it is certainly my hop of the year.

If you have not tried it, the hop gives hints of tropical fruit, and in some ways is similar to Mosaic, but CF127 gives a rounded bitternessthat becomes very moreish.

It a beer widely available through the local Mallinsons supplier.
