Hogan Sampling		21 Jun 2025	Third night on and some head and lacing on show but not lasting on this India Pale Ale collaboration between Thornbridge, north-west of Bakewell and south-west of Sheffield, and Burning Sky Brewery at Firle, north-west of Eastbourne. An oily hoppy-infused first bite to it. A dry hoppiness rearing up and persisting and full of citrus and tropical fruit flavours. A definite touch of wood resin flavouring not unlike the Greek white wine, Retsina, to my taste buds, and where pine resin from the wooden vessels helped keep air out and in so doing, infused the wine within.

Hogan Sampling		19 Jun 2025	Fresh on and very good head and lacing on show and lasting on this India Pale Ale collaboration between Thornbridge, north-west of Bakewell and south-west of Sheffield, and Burning Sky Brewery at Firle, north-west of Eastbourne. A hoppy-infused first bite to it aided by its Mosaic and Citra hops. A moreishly dry hoppiness rising up and persisting. Lashings of citrus and tropical fruits such as orange and kiwi bobbing up and down on my sailing journey with it and lasting.
