Who	Score	When	Notes
Philip Pirrip		01 Mar 2026	Overly malty quite sweet chestnut ale
Hogan Sampling		01 Mar 2026	2nd beer of the visit: Fresh on today and displaying a very good head and with a lacing lasting all the way on this ESB from Bristol. A sweetly fruited first bite from its caramel malt. A good malty bitterness rising and in continuing the theme from the Phipps' Red Star. A fruited note winning over with hints of orange peel among its spice from its East Kent Goldings mixed with US Cascade hops. A dry malty pleasurable and lingering exit. Very moreish and in superb form but at 5.2% a mere half sufficed.
