Jan 31, 2009 Cask at the Brown Dog, Barnes, 29th Jan 09. Amber, small white head. Grassy hop aroma - definitely a Sussex beer! Light hoppy flavour. Expected session bitter weight and mouthfeel.

Nov 20, 2008 Hay-coloured with a thin but lasting white head. A little bit barnyeardy in the aroma, with some honey and straw. A small hop hit disappears to pale malts and sweet, dry grass. Quite lager-y for a ’bitter’ although the hops do reappear in the aftertaste along with hint of yeast. Really drinkable but nothing to write home about.

I wasn’t expecting much of this weak Sussex ale at 3.5%. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice and hoppy, dry and had a biscruity maltiness. Good.

Feb 26, 2007 A mid amber gold coloured beer with a thickish white head. A light,hoppy nose, with a hint of biscuity malt. The taste is dry and bitter, the biscuity malt flavour is reminscent of “Rich Tea” biscuits!!, then a slightly weak, sweetish finish.

Sep 5, 2006 500ml bottle from Cask & Glass, Tonbridge. Golden with lasting white head. Yeast/ hop aroma. Yeast is a bit like Sheps, but the hop is quite floral. Fine in mouth. Hoppy dryness on end. Bit thin on flavour, no real fruit or malt. Some rose petal I guess on the end. Easy drinking session bitter with enough hops to keep you interested. Bit one dimensonal, but for a 3.5% beer, I thought it pretty good.

Jun 5, 2005 Had it from a beer tent at cricket so probably not in the best possible condition. Nonetheless I found it pretty uninspiring. Slightly more bitter than I expected and over-carbonated although with some decent hop character. Appearance wise if I hadn’t watched them being poured I’d have struggled to tell it apart from my friend’s pint of Fosters.

Jan 31, 2005 Cask @ Smithfield Hotel New & Rare Breweries Beer Festival, Manchester, UK 28 Jan 2005
Light amber. Rich in hops (Tettnanger?). Zesty character. Long finish but somewhat one dimensional.
