Hogan Sampling		04 Sep 2026	1st beer of this visit: Came with a very respectable looking head and lasting lacing on this Berkshire gold-coloured pale ale from the Windsor brewery established in 2023 and which also runs Windsor's A Hoppy Place micropub. A dry hoppy first hit on this collaboration between Indie Rabble and Pellicle Magazine, an independent, reader-supported publication dedicated to beer, wine and pub cultures. Here they have collaborated with Indie Rabble to create this exclusive, limited-run cask ale based on the West Coast style pale ale that pairs a modern hop profile, using Tango hops, with a classic English malt base. A grape-infused fruitiness rising with notes of zested and candied orange. A dry hoppiness from its dual-purpose Tango hop variety that originates from Germany and where their male breeding line related to Hallertauer, a celebrated German aroma hop, has been crossed with the US Cascade hop with an emerging sweet fruitiness from orange peel, grapefruit and zesty lemon, alongside passionfruit, pineapple, green apple and subtle apricot prevailing for me. A spiciness mixed with fresh pine resin and a floral hoppiness lingering. Served in very good nick with plenty of conditioning. The pump clip features an attached miniature bell that actually rings when the bartender interacts with it and based on vintage, cast-iron British pub signs.
