Hogan Sampling		07 Jun 2025	Now brewed by Marston's Brewery based in Burton upon Trent, this best bitter came with very good head and lacing and lasted. A very hoppy maltiness in the first hit. A bitter malt or two rising up and a dry bitterness lingering in the aftertaste alongside a subtle fruitiness joining in.
