Tasting Summary

These comments are the opinion of the individual reviewer and represent what they thought of the beer on a particular day in a particular pub. If a review is less favourable, it may be because the beer suffered somewhere in the supply chain between them and the brewery.

Hogan SamplingExcellent22 Nov 2025 3rd beer of the visit: Very good head and lacing and lasting on this Essex dark amber coloured best bitter from south of Colchester. A dry but hedgerow-fruited first hit. A dry bitterness rising and a red berry or two tap dancing on my old palate alongside a Cara malt, a type of caramel malt, joined by a host of roasted malts. A very pleasant sailing downwards with a moreishly dry bitter note keeping me entertained on its final passage.
