A tribute to this historical pub which was designed in the early 1900s for the (now closed) Brickwoods Brewery. This grade II listed building was previously home to ‘The White Swan’ though locals affectionately referred to it as ‘The Mucky Duck’! A refreshing session bitter with some caramel malt flavour and gentle hoppiness.

--Cask at Brewhouse & Kitchen, Portsmouth. -- Clear mahogany colour, small head. Sourish caramel aroma. Sweet with light to medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Limp caramel, some acrid sourness and leafy hops. Ashy bitter finish. Pretty sad in this condition.

Cask at Brewhouse & Kitchen - Portsmouth during the Isle of Wight Jolly. Pours clear russet-gold with a frothy, white head. Toasted biscuits in the nose with light leaves, grains and dried berries. Light to medium sweet flavor with nice berry character, light peppery hops, leaves. Light in body with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish with faint toffee, grainy bread and ripening berries. Very good sessioner.
