Hogan Sampling		13 Jun 2026	1st beer of this festival: Good head and lacing to begin with on this slightly hazy East Sussex pale ale from a working farm at Little Goldsmiths Farm at Blackboys, East Sussex, and where commercial brewing began in 2019 after starting as a garden shed home-brewing project the year before. A dry fruity first hit. A hoppiness rising from its Lemon Drop hop from the US and its German Mandarina Bavaria hop and where both are citrus-forward varieties released commercially in 2012 to meet the global craft beer demand. Not overly fruited in the least despite the first aforementioned hop being behind lemon zest, lime, mint, green tea, and subtle melon notes, and the second behind sweet tangerine, mandarin orange and clementine. A gentle fruited hoppiness sailing out with hints of lemon and orange citrus. Fermented using lager yeast to achieve its crisp touches. Served in good nick.
