Hogan Sampling		29 Jan 2026	2nd beer of this visit: Also fresh on and presenting head and lacing to die for in lasting all the way on this American-hopped golden ale brewed in the town of Winchcombe, within the Cotswolds region of Gloucestershire and about 8 miles north-east of Cheltenham. A lightly fruity first hit. A dryness mixed with juicy hoppiness bounding up from its seven "C" hops, including Cascade, Citra and Chinook with citrus and tropical fruits emanating from this mix. A light malty sweetness getting in on the act with hints of caramel. With no single flavour ruling the roost, it was balanced with a dry fruit-infused hoppy finish. Rather too full of the combinations of fruit flavours for my taste buds and so a mere half sufficed for them.
