Hogan Sampling		01 Jun 2025	Fresh on today was this Tottenham bitter and came with some head and lacing but this soon legged it out its pint glass. A fruity first hit. A fruity sourness pervaded the mouthfeel, not unlike rhubarb, and made it not that appetising to my taste buds. It appeared murky to look at though not described as unfined. I did try taking it back unsuccessfully due to its murkiness but it was flagged up by the barman as just fresh on and fruity! A far cry from the Kent Cobnut I had so much enjoyed recently. A medicinal aftertaste and one sufficed. Will only drink again after trying a sample first of Redemption.

Hogan Sampling		11 May 2025	Fresh on for this Tottenham in North London bitter and with good head and lacing. BUT tasted vinegary from the outset as if at the end of its barrel. A very malty first hit slightly disguised its apparent wish to be sprinkled on fish and chips! It had a sour and medicinal kick to it from the off with a gentle bitterness rising up in the mouthfeel and which persisted alongside the vinegary flavouring in the aftertaste. Such a shame for a new bitter on! Whatever went wrong?! Sadly also, only ever one bitter on at any one time and so others are one to two dark ales and about four pales prevailing.
Philip Pirrip		11 May 2025	Not impressed, have had much better examples of this before
Hogan Sampling		06 Dec 2024	Reasonable head and lacing but not holding it for long and so multiple decantings came into force. A very dry first hit with a lingering maltiness in the aftertaste.
Philip Pirrip	Not Tried	05 Dec 2024	Varied opinions from others about the drinkability of this ale tonight
Hogan Sampling		05 Dec 2024	Good head and lacing in this Tottenham-based bitter. It grew on me as slightly medicinal when first tried a taster of it. It was no doubt its citrus notes came to the attack on my palette. It had a powerfully dry bitter aftertaste.

Hogan Sampling		16 Aug 2024	Just a half to round off. Good head and bitter aftertaste and packed with flavours of dark fruit. A chestnut bitter and dark in colouring and slightly sweet.
