Hogan Sampling		13 Jun 2026	8th beer of this festival: Presented with head and lacing visible at first on this Essex premium golden ale from Upp Hall Farm, Coggeshall, Colchester and where brewing was set up in 2023. A dry and slightly fruited first bite from its orange-like citrus fruitiness. Bittered and aromatised with a blend of English and North American hops, its US Cascade hops lending for me a pine and grapefruity flavouring. A malty moment from its sweet honey malt alongside its traditional pale malt and amber malt lending a biscuity flavouring. A white wine fruited hoppiness rising with a procession of floral notes. A dry fruity outflow lingering and contrasted for me with a somewhat astringent bitterness. Served in good nick.
