Hogan Sampling		21 Mar 2026	Presented with very good head and lacing and lasting the whole course on this amber-coloured ale from the Marlow Brewery and known as the Rebellion Beer Company, an independent microbrewery based in Marlow Bottom, a village north of Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and south-west of Beaconsfield, and established in 1993 and so reviving the town's long brewing tradition following the closure of the historic Wethereds Brewery. This is Rebellion Beer Company's monthly special for March and part of their 2026 British Folklore range with its name inspired by the shape-shifting seal creatures of Scottish and Irish folklore. A dry bitter first hit on this clear-as-a-bell amber ale. A gentle fruitiness climbing from its heavily hopped Krush, a bold American variety first released in 2024, lending it mixed berry and tropical fruit notes. Not too fruited for my taste buds with a bitter hoppiness winning over. A dry lingering and lightly fruited hoppiness sailing downwards. Very moreish and presented in top form.
