Hogan Sampling | Not Tried | 31 Aug 2025 | |
Hogan Sampling |  | 30 Aug 2025 | 2nd night on for this Bermondsey bitter. Head and lacing, good. Lasting, good. A lightly bitter first bite. A gentle dry bitterness rising with a fruity note or two joining in. The merest hint of a malty sweetness coming to the fore with a biscuity caramel-infused flavouring. A dry hoppiness playing out aided by its US Chinook hops. |
Hogan Sampling |  | 29 Aug 2025 | Fresh on this day, in referring to not just the late afternoon/evening time opening of Monday to Thursday at 4pm, since on Friday this micro opens at 2pm. This Bermondsey-based bitter was marked on the blackboard as Anspach & Hobday's The Ordinary Bitter at 3.4% and yet the tasting notes referred to it as The Golden Bitter at 4.0%. The tasting notes were corrected for the following day as The Ordinary Bitter but showing 3.7% when it is 3.4%. Head and lacing, very good, and lasting good. A fruit-infused bitter first bite. A hoppy fruited bitterness rising from its US Chinook hops. A biscuity maltiness winning over and a bitter dryness lasting. |
Hogan Sampling |  | 16 Aug 2025 | Now its third night on and not faring well is this Bermondsey-brewed bitter. Head and lacing, poor, and not lasting. A dry fruit-infused bitter first bite. A hoppy bitterness rising from its US Chinook hops but a hint of vinegary medicine getting in on the act. Poor indeed for only its third night on and indeed for the two longer days for serving on as in both Friday and Saturday when open much earlier as in 2pm and 12 noon respectively. |
Hogan Sampling |  | 15 Aug 2025 | Second night on and head and lacing, good, and lasting, fair, on this Bermondsey-brewed bitter. Not as fruity a first bite as on its premier evening. Its US Chinook hops lending it a hoppy bitterness rising. A biscuity caramel-infusion mixed with a bitter dryness casting its sails before gently drifting off into the sunset. |

Hogan Sampling |  | 14 Aug 2025 | Fresh on this evening and so good head and lacing and lasting throughout on this Bermondsey-brewed bitter. A fruity first bite. A hop-infused bitterness rising aided by its US Chinook hops. A good kick, like the mule has, in its hoppy fruitiness. A touch of biscuity caramel-infused bitterness gently lapping up with a hint of pine, spice and the odd dark fruit before its tide gently ebbed away. |
Philip Pirrip | Not Tried | 24 Dec 2024 | |
Hogan Sampling |  | 24 Dec 2024 | Only third night on and minus head and lacing without the decanting involved from this Bermondsey-based brewery. A very bitter, bitter mouthfeel and without much of the tasting notes' description of hop aromas of pine, spice and dark fruits. |
Hogan Sampling |  | 23 Dec 2024 | Only the second night on and minimal head and lacing on this Bermondsey-based bitter. Much decanting was needed to get the carbonation. A dry bitterness, some fruitiness, a hint of biscuit and caramel flavouring, and a touch of sourness lingering. |

Hogan Sampling |  | 22 Dec 2024 | Good head and lacing on this Bermondsey beer as fresh on. A very bitter first hit and a bitterness lingering along with some biscuity and caramel flavouring. |

Hogan Sampling |  | 14 Jul 2024 | Tasting of biscuit and caramel with a malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. In good form with the head. |
