Cask at the Plough & Harrow Littlington. Unfair rating as I know I’ve had better long man bitter than this, think the pub cocked up a bit. Beer came across with nasty skunk, pub floor aroma and too sweet in body. (2-3-3-2-8 Febuary 9th, est.) This time, I found this beer to be actually rather nice! Almost sacrilege for me to say but it tasted as good if not better than the Sussex Best from last night. It reminded me what a good sussex bitter should be. Aroma was a bit vinegary. It was incredibly quaffable, slightly sweet, classic Long Man taste. Some hint of last times failure but overall was really good here at the Ship in Meads (6-2-7-4-16, 20th April) Rerated. Sweet bitter as they go. Finish wasn't nice after a good amount of it. 646213 23/12/18 ----- Rerated from pin keg from brewery. 3.2 to 3.5. quaffable. (29/12/19) ------ Rerated, multiple bottles from brewery & cask at The Pilot Inn, Eastbourne. 3.5 to 3.6.

Cask at the Kings Head, Guildford. Pours amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, hop, light fruit. Above medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is sweet. Not bad. Updated 5/4/2018. Again at Kings Head. Overall quite a lot better than the 3.0 it got last time.

Bottle shared with AshtonMcCobb. I’m too Sussexy for this Tasting. Pours amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of nuts, oat biscuits. Taste is light spice bitter, light caramel. Bit over-carbonated, but not bad.

Bottle from Oddbins Tunbridge Wells. It’s a malty brown best bitter. Some good sting on the finish although I think that is due to the high carbonation that made the bottle spume upon opening. It’s an ok best bitter. Not too malty not too hoppy. Still a metallic overcarbonation though.

cask@Waterfront Bar, Streatham - pours brown with a healthy beige head. Toasty caramel malts, slight toffee, nutty, earthy and herbal notes, slight floral hoppyness in there as well, good bitter finish. Decent brew.
