Extremely busy and buzzing for Gadds' green hop beer festival. Gadds was also hosting 12 casks of green hop beers from others to sample.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four Candles - Green Hop Pale | 4.80 | | Good head and lacing. Pleasantly very hoppy tasting and moreish. |
| Shivering Sands - Castle Pale | 4.50 | | My favourite of the 4 tried at the Gadds's Green Hop Festival. Good head and lacing. A very sweet, but not sickly, moreish first hit with an exceedingly satisfyingly dry, lingering hoppy mouthfeel. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Harvest (Green Hop Beer 2024) | 3.80 | | Good head and lacing. A hoppy, dry mouthfeel. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Green Hop Ale (2024) | 4.80 | | Good head and lacing. A hoppy, oily mouthfeel with a dry, moreish aftertaste. |
