With a delicate grassy and earthy hop aroma, the refreshing bitterness of this beer is balanced by the subtle malt flavours which make for an extremely drinkable pint that has a dry finish and lasting after taste.

Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, slightly fruity, some peaches, caramel, bit of citrus. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, fruity, soft bitterness, hoppy, hint of citrus, bit spicy. Aftertaste: soft acidity, slightly bitter, decent, but not as good as the Sussex Best Bitter.

30/5/2019. 275ml bottle from the Bricklayers, Chipstead. Pours pale amber with a short lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of hops, sweet malt, buttery toffee and fruit. Sweet to taste with light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Bit of veg coming though in finish. More to it than I was expecting for its light 3.5% abv, though bit too sweet.

Cask handpull at Lord Nelson Brighton. Clear deep amber pale brown colour. Lasting beige head. Good Harveys yeast some good juicy sweet English malts. Some drying hop finish. I mean for a 3.5% Cask conditioned session bitter it is sublime. Condition is immaculate. Flavours distinct but harmonious. Brilliant beer.

Cask from pub opposite the brewery in Lewes. The aroma was pretty skunky and unpleasant, bit of pub floor smell. Taste lacked power to make up for this given its very low %. Prefer my IPA more hoppy and stronger.(pre Feb 2017) Cask at the royal oak, borough, London. 1.9 to 2.7. Easy drinking light ale

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the Royal Oak. Pours totally clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds bland malts, tea, leaves. Light sweet flavour, watery, with simple malts, weak caramel, faint leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more impressions of caramel, buttery toffee, doughy bread, minimal bitterness. Kind of like a weak malt water. Pretty rubbish.

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2016, Ealing, London. An amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, citrus fruit, slightly bitter. Not what I would call an IPA.

Cask halfpint at The White Hart (a Harvey’s pub), Crawley. ABV 3.5%. Deep golden color, no head. Minimal aroma. Fairly dry flavour, some tingling fruity and herbal English hops make the beer quite drinkable, but this is not an IPA (neither historical nor modern) by any stretch of the mind.
