Hogan SamplingAcceptable19 Apr 2025 Cannot recall trying this golden pale ale from East Peckham, north-east of Tonbridge, before. Fresh on today and yet minimal head and lacing was presented on it and quickly vanished. A mildly fruity citrusy first hit. A hoppiness shining through in the mouthfeel with the odd hint of spice and lingering from two Kent varieties, Challenger and Cascade, and one German hop variety. Rather lacklustre in flavouring. One sufficed.
