Magnus Greel | 18 Jul 2023 | The solitary handpump in a sea of designer 'craft beers' was well looked after and didn't disappoint. I had to have another to make sure - at just £3.50 per pint am sure would appeal to the thrifty minded! |

Andrew | 21 Dec 2016 | They've got a new pump clip. Touch haxy but lovely citrus pineapple toastiness. | |
Andrew | 10 Oct 2015 | Top stuff. Had 3 pints. All too warm | |
Andrew | 31 Aug 2013 | Man this is good. Ah man this is good. It's a meal in a pint. | |
Andrew | 02 Aug 2013 | Excellent condition; excellent temperature; excellent beer. I just love the astringent peanut-grapefruit flavours in this beer. ...and all at 3.9%. | |
Andrew | 23 Jul 2013 | Ah the Wife. Good condition but if I were really picky it was a degree too warm. Still, it's a great beer. | |
Andrew | 08 Feb 2013 | Just the right temperature. Stunning leafy, grapefruit hop and subtle malt combination. Just such a great beer. | |
Eddie | 06 Oct 2012 | Stunning :) | |
Andrew | 15 Sep 2012 | Excellent beer this but served too warm again. Ian's pint of Dr Sunshine was about 4 degrees colder than mine. Drop the temperature and it would have been outstanding. | |
Blair | 30 Jun 2012 | Earthy bitter, very nice. | |
Andrew | 29 Jun 2012 | Very drinkable. Hint more grapefruit and it would have been perfect. | |

Andrew | 13 Jan 2012 | Superb beer. Less toasted-nut today (which was a shame) and more juicy-fruits in the grapefruit hop bite (which was different). | |
Andrew | 06 Jan 2012 | Awesome beer served just right. Really, this is in my top 5 beers. | |
Andrew | 24 Dec 2011 | An excellent beer served just a few degrees too warm. Shame. | |
Blair | 19 Dec 2011 | Finally I can see what everyone has been raving about, the last couple of times I've tried this it's been far inferior. Really drinkable, fruity ale. | |
Andrew | Not Tried | 29 Nov 2011 | Moral of story, trust your instincts |
Andrew | 18 Nov 2011 | A degree or 2 too warm but still outstanding. | |
Andrew | 04 Nov 2011 | This would have been outstanding if it wasn't for it being served far too warm. Real shame. | |
Andrew | 30 Sep 2011 | Ever been out on a boiling hot day and gone for a swim? You know that feeling after you've been in the water for about 5 minutes and the initial shock of the cold has past and you've nearly cooled down? Well this beer is the drinking equivalent of that. Just superb. | |
Andrew | 19 Aug 2011 | A touch too warm but wow this is a great beer. It seems to me to be a cross between and old fashioned Best Bitter and a modern Mid Atlantic Pale Ale. I've tried a few beer that have attempted this combination of styles but none have been as brilliantly good as "The Wife". | |
Andrew | 22 Jul 2011 | Can't remember a whole lot about this after having been to the beer festival but I do remember it being excellent. | |
Andrew | 13 Jul 2011 | Maybe this was just very fresh but the grapefruit hop was very pronounced and drowned out the other flavours I usually find in this fantastic beer. Still very good (and in excellent condition). I hope the recipe hasn't been changed!!! | |
Blair | Not Tried | 19 Jun 2011 | |
Andrew | 11 Jun 2011 | Ha ha, this was laughingly good. Really, I did laugh when I took my first sip of this. Man this is great. The fruit, hops and malt in this are just brilliant. Ha ha ha. | |
Ian | 11 Jun 2011 | Of all the new Kent beers I think this is my favourite along with Tonbridge Blonde Ambition. Really tasty citrus hops great stunning condition and all for 3.8% abv | |
Andrew | 05 May 2011 | Outstanding session bitter | |
Blair | 13 Apr 2011 | Fruity, a little yeasty. Kind of had a homebrew flavour going on. | |
Andrew | 09 Apr 2011 | Had the last pint out and one of the first pints of the new barrel. Both were superb. | |
Andrew | 16 Mar 2011 | The condition on this was superb and the flavours unbeatable; earthy hop, lemon rind and just so quaffable. If only all session beers were this good. | |
Brian | Not Tried | 15 Mar 2011 | |
Andrew | 11 Feb 2011 | Deep golden colour but light. Lemon rind flavours with some toasted peanut. Really good stuff. | |
Ian | 01 Feb 2011 | Best beer of the evening. Lightish bitter, but full in mouth, good hop flavours on end. Really interesting drinkable beer. |
