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.

WittendenExcellent20 Feb 2011 Master Brew isn't always my ideal beer,but this time it was really fresh, with a resinous quality that lifted the wintry gloom.
BrianGood09 Dec 2006 Good pint of masterbrew, but unfortunatley this was the only beer on. Well served though and not unpleasant.
AndrewGood03 Jul 2005 Very hoppy with a resinous power to it. There was no other taste really or at least if there were it was overpowered by the hops. This was a good pint of Master Brew but still, it was a bit one dimensional.

Archie14Excellent30 Sep 2021 Say what you like about Shepherd Neame but in a world flooded by hazy, sour beers flavoured with candy and god knows what, IN my honest opinion a well kept pint of Master Brew is hard to beat if what your looking for is a pint of proper quaffable, session hoppy bitter. Served in excellent condition here.

IanAcceptable02 Jan 2006 Bit more caramelly and rounded that at the Conningbrook, but it lacked that floral hoppy nose that I like on this beer.

Stephen HarrisAcceptable23 Jan 2013 I was weaned on this beer as a teenager. It was full of character, with a farmyard whiff (courtesy of SN’s old yeast strain) and a bite of Kentish hops. That was many years ago – and pretty much none of it now applies. Perhaps the most positive I can be is to say that this beer is ‘easy-drinking’.
