Hogan Sampling		26 Jul 2025	Head and lacing, very good, and lasting, good, on this Sussex amber best bitter from Polegate, north-west of Eastbourne. A somewhat caramel-infused first bite to it. A fruity bitter dry hoppiness from its Fuggles and Goldings hops rising up. A bittersweet maltiness lingering.

Hogan Sampling	Not Tried	29 Mar 2025
Hogan Sampling		29 Mar 2025	Came with very good head and lacing and a very bitter first hit. A dry hoppy mouthfeel and a maltiness coming to the fore on this Polegate, north-west of Eastbourne, best bitter. There was a pleasantly dry hoppy aftertaste.

Hogan Sampling		29 Mar 2025	Fresh on and so this bitter's head and lacing was at its best. A bitter malty mouthfeel on this Best from north-west of Eastbourne and a moreish dryness lingering from those fragrant hops, Fuggles and local East Kent Goldings.
