Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough, 24th Sept 2008. Clear amber with a lacy white head. Good full body and a strong, dry flavour. Sweet yet hoppy in equal measure - very balanced. Characteristic Sussex Fuggles funky hop aroma. Strength is reasonably apparent but not an issue. Lots of fresh hop flavours layered with caramely malt. Sweeter and fuller than Harveys Sussex Best.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
on cask at Royal Oak (London - Borough). Cloudy amber with a decent frothy off-white handpull head (the pints are filled right to the top at this establishment). Pungent, bitter aroma, quite startling - I’m sure it’s a type of hop I just don’t know, but this smelled like marigold, cedar shavings and juniper - so fresh and ... wow! As to the taste, well, initially my wife really hated it (she liked it a bit ten minutes later) but I was impressed - pungent, green acidic hop bitterness with a decidedly secondary light cereal malt backbone totally dominated by a bitter woodiness that now reminded me of mohogany dust (from woodshop lathing, that memory). Average cask body, very astringent indeed, with a long squeaky woody finish - I freaking loved it - a hoppy beer first try at a pub!

Cask. Amber pour wearing a solid off-white film. A very fresh, grassy and gently fruity ale that did the job wonderfully for me after carrying thirteen pints on my back for a few miles on a bright sunny day. Excellent woody yeast character, gently fruity (peach). Very refreshing, just enough minerality in the finishing bitterness. Clean, flowery, straight on pint with juicy hops that beg you to repeat the experience.
