Commercial Description:
Only available in pasteurised bottle.
A low-alcohol Sussex pale ale (1%), produced from the Best Bitter. The name is derived from the cockney rhyming slang and is a fitting tribute to the generations of Londoners who harvested the crop in the hop gardens of Sussex.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some hops and nectar. Flavour is earthy, fruity, nectary and also has some slight cardboard notes.

275ml bottle. Copper coloured, with a toffeeish aroma. Alas, like so many of their bottled beers recently, this was afflicted with diacetyl. Beneath that, you can taste the relation to the Sussex Best. Not hoppy enough though and rather flat.

Bottle thanks to garethyoung, pickled up from the brewery. Pours entirely flat. Aroma is sweet toffee malts. Taste is similar theres some hop in here but nothign really to get me going in any fashion. Its annoying i really wanted to enjoy this beer, as i love low % beers, but i suppose you cant always have it your way.

275ml bottle from the brewery shop, Lewes. Not a lot of condition, some butter on aroma. Diacetyl seems to affect a lot of the beers I bought from the brewery shop. It’s a bitter with no alcohol. The rest of the beer is fine.
