Hogan Sampling		30 Aug 2025	Superb head and lacing on this Dorking bitter, from south-east of Dorking itself at Capel, and lasting throughout. A very bitter but not too malty first bite. A moreish bitterness rising and a gentle fruitiness bobbing along aided by its Bobek and Bramling Cross hops and English malt, Maris Otter, in on the mix. A pleasantly dry bitterness sailing off. Very moreish indeed and could easily have done more than a half but others to meet from a London CAMRA branch back in Tunbridge Wells' town centre.

Hogan Sampling		18 Jan 2025	Good head and lacing on this Dorking Brewery best bitter. A very bitter first hit. A hoppy mouthfeel with a malty sweetness. It had a pleasantly dry moreish aftertaste. Only £4.20 a pint in this Dorking-based CIU club and so a real bargain!
