Hogan Sampling		23 May 2026	6th beer of this visit: Very good head and lacing on this best bitter from an independent craft brewery located in Malton, North Yorkshire, set up in 2011, and known for famously brewing 100% of their recipes to be entirely vegan-friendly and certified gluten-free. A dry hoppy first hit. A dry earthy hoppy bitterness with sweet notes of dried citrus and orange fruit entertaining my taste buddies aided by its traditional English hops. A malty caramel note or two joining in from its so-named malt derived from British grains aiding nutty biscuity flavours saddling out. Served in top form.
