Hogan Sampling		29 Nov 2025	3rd beer of this visit: This Buckinghamshire golden ale from north of Brill and north-east of Oxford presented a good head and lacing and lasting. A dry fruity first hit. A pleasantly dry hoppiness winning over from its First Gold and Celeia Goldings, the latter affording it a herbal citrus note playing out.
