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.

The Feathers, Merstham, Surrey

Hogan SamplingExcellent31 Oct 2024 Fresh on for my 2nd visit of the day with superb head and lacing. A local brew from just outside Dorking. A moreishly hoppy, bitter mouthfeel with malt flavours. It had a pleasingly long and dry finish.
