Hogan Sampling		13 Jun 2026	9th and final beer of this festival: Good head and lacing presented and lasting most of the way on this Windsor-brewed American-style session pale ale and where in 2010 Windsor in Berkshire witnessed the reincarnation of commercial brewing for the first time in 79 years. A dry hoppy first hit with hints of gentle citrus, zesty grapefruit and faint tea flavours. A bitter fruitiness rising with hints of raisin cake from its US Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe and Centennial hops. A pithy citrus rind aftertaste lingering. In top form.

Philip Pirrip		06 May 2024	Served like a murk, after some conversation it was replaced as someone had possibly knocked the cask in the cellar. BUT left on sale and I saw at least one other be served it and then rejected it for a swap out too
