Hophead (3.8% ABV)

No comment.

Hophead was a much better beer in 2011.

This period marked the apogee of my enthusiasm for all things Dark Star.

We would make regular trips to the charmless confines of the Partridge, Partridge Green, where I could consume the monthly special and seasonals with gusto, usually taking four pints of APA home to drink with L. in the evening.

Now, I can take or leave Dark Star.

They're not only coasting in terms of their new products, their QA has plummeted, and they've a strangely hostile attitude to micropubs, which they seem to give no leeway to whatsoever.

Dark Star are, in short, no longer One Of Us. They're One Of Them.
