Commercial Description:
Only available in pasteurised bottle.
A low-alcohol Sussex pale ale (1%), produced from the Best Bitter. The name is derived from the cockney rhyming slang and is a fitting tribute to the generations of Londoners who harvested the crop in the hop gardens of Sussex.

Bottle, max 1%. Sweet malt syrup aroma. Clear amber colour. Good hoppiness in flavour, some cinnamon. Does not really taste low alcohol except for some breadiness.

A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.
Amber gold with no head. Sweaty feet, tobacco, heavily oxidised and some diacetyl. Tests very little like the best bitter and is in all honesty pretty rank.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some hops and nectar. Flavour is earthy, fruity, nectary and also has some slight cardboard notes.

275ml bottle. Copper coloured, with a toffeeish aroma. Alas, like so many of their bottled beers recently, this was afflicted with diacetyl. Beneath that, you can taste the relation to the Sussex Best. Not hoppy enough though and rather flat.
