Hogan Sampling		31 Jan 2026	Very good head and lacing and lasting well on this bitter now brewed by Greene King but still marketed on the pump clip as Hardys & Hansons. A fruited bitter first hit emanating from its fruity esters, referring to its primary aromatic compounds forming during fermentation when yeast enzymes combine an alcohol with an organic acid. This for me has created a hint of pear-drop flavourings from its yeast. A gentle maltiness climbing with hints of toffee from special brewing sugars and a small addition of crystal malt. A hoppy bitterness assisted by its herbal notes from dry hopping with Challenger, Pilgrim and Goldings hops assisting its slide down with some lingering dry fruitiness.
