Visits Details
28 Mar 2026 (Hogan Sampling)
Sixth visit of this Worthing outing: By all accounts this was Worthing’s first micropub and indeed the first in Sussex when it opened in August 2013. Busy on my arrival and soon to be joined by some fellow real ale enthusiasts from SE London who were on a tour with members of the Campaign For Authentic Lager (CAMAL), founded in 1986. Prompt, friendly service for my late afternoon visit and memorable also from my earlier visit a few years before for the friendly couple running it and who even run to providing thirds of a pint on the three cask ales on. Superbly labelled A to C are the three real ales on, on the blackboard so as to identify them on your wooden "flight" or "paddle" containing each third measure and correctly aligned to the A to C beers on and so marked A to C on your "flight" or "paddle" as you care to call it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goldmark - Wahwah IPA | 5.00 | | 1st beer of this visit: This hazy American IPA from an independent, multi-award-winning microbrewery based in Arundel, West Sussex, and crafting beers since 2013, had some head and lacing but not lasting. A sweetish hoppy first hit. A fruitiness rising and accompanied by strong hop aromas from the double dry-hopping process. A dry hoppiness prevailing from Citra, Columbus, Azacca and Centennial and where the use of the Chinook hop is added in some batches to give it that extra "bite" and here quite likely as evident to my taste buds before its downwards journey. Palatable but overly fruited for me! |
| Lakedown - Kicking Donkey Best Bitter | 4.20 | | 3rd beer of this visit: Good head and lacing lasting all the way on this East Sussex best bitter from the independent, family-run brewery and taproom located in the scenic Wealden valley at Burwash, east of Robertsbridge. A fruity bittered first hit. A dry bitterness winning through with a biscuity maltiness from its blend of 7 different grains. A fruity hoppiness pervading from its three British varieties: UK Pioneer, UK-grown Cascade and Jester, and lasting in its passage out. In good condition and very quaffable. |
| Lost Pier - Lost in Strata | 4.50 | | 2nd beer of this visit: This New England hazy pale from the independent craft brewery based in Sussex, and while they originated in Brighton from 2017, their main production and current taproom are located in Burgess Hill, presented good head and lacing and lasting. A fruited first hit with hints of pineapple and orange. A dry hoppiness leaping up with a slice of caramel flavouring. A tropical fruited note winning over from its passionfruit, emanating from its Strata hops aiding a rising zestiness. Certainly a good fruitiness lingering before saddling out. Served in peak condition. |
