Shepherd Neame Early Bird Spring Hop Ale

Post by crafty john » Sat Mar 12, 2011 8:05 pm

Just tried a bottle of the above and It's bloody lovely, just how I like my beer, I don't suppose anyone has a clone recipe? I would love to re create it.

It says on the bottle that it's made with Kentish early bird hops, any clues anyone?

Cheers
John

EKG. Pale and crystal. That would be my punt.

It has Pale & Biscuit malt with early bird goldings in copper, with goldings as late addition
Good luck!

Hi, as stated by others Early Bird is a subvariety of East Kent Goldings, as is Late Red one of their other seasonals. Probably is related to when the hops ripen.
I agree with pale malt and crystal, but SN probably stuck about 10% sugar in as well.

Cheers, B.
