Three Boys Golden is an absolute favourite<\/a> of mine. So after the heartbreak that was the Hopinated version<\/a> of\u00a0 Twisted Hop’s ‘Sauvin’ Pils — another beer whose deliciousness is closely-tied to its simplicity — I was a little nervous to try this. Especially after Martin had some and found it a little sweaty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The effect wasn’t as jarring, and I thought it moved the beer into the sort of very-pale English-style bitter territory occupied by Galbraith’s charming ‘Bob Hudson’s’.<\/p>\n
