Ian		10 Jul 2007	This was a really great session bitter. I could easily have necked it all night. It had the right balance and blend of yeast, malt and hops. Some character from the yeast showed through too. And it was in great, great condition. The landlord said it had only just come on.

Stephen Harris		10 Feb 2016	A copper-coloured, richly-malty, slightly sweet beer. Tastes, to me, more like a typical Greene King beer than how I remember the Hardy & Hanson’s beers to have tested.

ChrisE		06 Jun 2015	Very well kept pint. I don't normally drink this beer on principle as I was upset about the closure of Hardys and Hansons but I did enjoy this one.

Andrew		13 May 2007	Hardy Hanson Olde Trip. Big malt bite with base-bitter background. Lots of harsh malt (marmite) on the finish. Not really my kind of beer

Wittenden		01 Feb 2013	The old boys were calling this "Old Tripe". For me, this was just a dull brown bitter.
