With a winning combination of Mosaic, Citra and Amarillo hops, expect a lemon sherbet aroma with strong notes of lemon verbena. Generously hopped, this hazy New England IPA is smooth and intensely fruity with a soft, pithy bitterness on the end.

Hophead
Dark Star in West Sussex
Hophead at 3.8% is one of our most popular beers and has a huge following across the south coast and I am sure even much further.
Tasting Notes
Hophead is a pale golden colour, cool crisp and refreshing with a slight hoppy bitterness. Many of our customers who drink it say that they seem to get drunk drinking this as opposed to drinking some of the stronger beers. That's because it's too 'moreish' and they always end up drinking more than they realise!
From time to time, in addition to Hophead, we will also be serving other Ales from Dark Star's excellent range.
