Hogan Sampling		16 Aug 2025	Its murky appearance belied its taste 100%. Described as a hazy pale from this micro-brewery just outside Margate, it presented good head and lacing and this stuck to it. A very dry fruity first hit. A gentle pithy bitterness rising up from its malty body. Not overly fruited with the odd stone fruit and zesty citrus note or two. A moreish juicy fruit-infused hoppiness lapping up and down with a fruity dryness ebbing on its tidal flow down my appreciative gullet.

Jack William	Not Tried	09 Nov 2023	Didn’t go down well with others due mainly to its soupy appearance. There’s unfined and there’s opaque.
Jack William		08 Sep 2022	Unfined- and extremely cloudy. Last one out before the barrel was changed but it seemed drinkable nonetheless.
