Tasting Notes:
HBC 522? Even though it sounds like a little known droid that had a cameo role in the first Star Wars, this collaboration of letters and numbers is actually a hop variety so new that no one has got around to naming it yet. What we do know about it though is that it is a vibrant little creature that brings a bright cascade of tropical fruit and citrus notes to this easy-drinking session IPA. Golden amber in colour, its nose shimmers with notes of melon, citrus, ripe mango and a hint of fresh pine forest after a shower of rain. There’s more of this fruitiness on the palate alongside a juicy mouthfeel, a delicate bittersweetness and a lasting dry finish that suggests you take another swig and perhaps be inspired to come up with a proper name for HBC 522!
Hops: HBC 522
Food pairing: The sweet, sour, hot and salty notes of Thai cuisine make an excellent escort to the bright and cheerful hoppiness of this beer, so how about a Pad Thai or fried basil and pork, with the latter’s fragrant and spicy character adding an extra dimension to the beer.

About Us
At the Frome Brewing Company we work with an extremely talented and knowledgeable team of brewers. We pride ourselves on producing the highest quality beers and we're not going to send anything out of our doors that we wouldn't want to drink ourselves. We do like to experiment - but more importantly, we're all about balancing delicate flavours to produce easy drinking beers.
In other words... "it's all about the beer!"
Brewing takes place up to five times a week, with malt from Warminster, hops from Charles Faram and our very own yeast. Our yeast, which is a similar strain to Youngs, is particularly versatile. Our beers are all vegan (but they're not gluten free).
We have a diverse range of beers with colours, strengths and flavours to suit all palates - if you're not sure what to go for, try a mixed case and we'll send you a selection of our finest.
Don't forget you can use code LOVEBEER10 for 10% off your order, and if you spend over £100 you'll get 15% of automatically. Enjoy!

Have to say this was some of the nicest beer I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot! Excellent gift from my lovely wife who usually complains I'm hard to buy for.
