Hogan Sampling		21 Feb 2026	This American Red Ale from near the site of Merton Priory in Wimbledon* presented a very good head and lacing and lasting all the way. A very dry bitter first hit. A fruity hoppiness veering up with a blend of British and American hops, including English Fuggles and Goldings for its bitterness, and Ekuanot and Mosaic giving rise to citrus, floral and tropical notes tantalising my taste buds. A maltiness emerging from its Maris Otter and Red Rye malts, giving rise to its biscuity sweetness and spiciness on my palate. A moreishly bitter dry hoppiness winning over and a malty note waving on sailing out. This beer was certainly a pleasure all the way and well-kept and presented here. *Wimbledon Brewery in South West London mixes traditional brewing heritage with modern techniques. Originally established in 1832 and resurrected in 2014, the brewery is currently located near the historic site of 12th-century Merton Priory buildings, demolished in 1538 by Henry VIII, but with significant remains and reconstructions accessible today.
