Stephen HarrisExcellent13 Mar 2013 Having not yet made the pilgrimage down to Swanscombe, I was pleased to see this on the bar. Pale gold in colour, with a fresh, lip-smacking, hoppy taste. Really good, just my kind of thing.

IanAcceptable07 Mar 2013 Its ok quite hoppy but after the Gadds stout just a bit not sure maybe not as full in the mouth. Slight sulphur on aroma and flavour. Hoppy finish

Philip PirripAcceptable12 Sep 2012 A heavy Citra hop hit but marked the beer down as its clip says "Brewed in the UK" but this does not tell us the true source - is it a cuckoo? Subsequently identified as being brewed at Kent Brewery
