Hogan Sampling		26 Jul 2025	Head and lacing, good, lasting, fair, on this amber bitter from this 45 year-old Wrington-based brewery, south-west of Bristol. A very dry bitter first bite. A mildly malty note or two rising aided by its Maris Otter malt. A moreishly hop-infused bitterness sailing off for me care of its blend of English hops.
