Hogan Sampling		15 Mar 2025	What an amazing co-incidence to have the very same beer as the one of just two in the Windsor micropub earlier. There is also only ever one bitter on at any one time in the River Ale House. To remind me, it is from just outside Windsor going west some six miles and at White Waltham. It is said to have first brewed in September 2016 and so has been around for a good few years. Fresh on was this Berkshire bitter with good head and lacing. A dry bitter first hit. Despite roasted caramel mentioned in the tasting notes, it was not sweet in the mouthfeel and with a moreish dry bitterness lingering.

A Hoppy Place, Windsor, Berkshire

Hogan Sampling		15 Mar 2025	This traditional bitter came from just outside Windsor going west some six miles and at White Waltham and I cannot recall trying their ales before. Came with good head and lacing which lasted. A very bitter first hit. A dry malty mouthfeel with a hint of caramel and a superb and moreishly dry bitterness lingering.
