Our flagship beer - Hole Hearted is the bricks and mortar of our entire business, with a history going right back to the start. Fruity, floral, and delicately bitter, Hole Hearted was one of the first beers in the UK to use Cascade hops - now a ‘household name’ in brewing. It’s a pint you will return to pint after pint, all year round. This is our tribute to all things traditional in ale - crafted over 20 years and still going strong, flying the flag for Golden Ale proudly.

Cask @Meat And Barrel, Portsmouth. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma has strong diacetyl, butterscotch, some fruityness. Light-bodied. Flavor is also dominated by diacetyl, not much of Cadcade to talk about. Dry citrus finish. Something gone wrong.

Clear golden beer, white head. Grapefruity flavour, you get the malt as well. A touch sickly after a couple buy nice. Really nice.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale gold, thick white head. Big lemon drop aromas, light grapefruit. Something earthy too. Taste is quite sharp, more lemon and light floral notes, touch of white sugar sweetness at the back. Decent beer though.

Aroma - Fresh citrus hops, lemon, soft tropical hops, light sweet malts, soft fruits, clean nose, soft sweet lemon
Taste of soft fruity pale malts, dab of soft yeast, plenty of zesty hops, some peppery hops, lemon zest, good soft sweet light malts that don’t get in the way of the hops, gets a bit more bitter with the drinking
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, soft sweet, zesty bitter. Finish as main flavour, slightly dry, soft peppery, bitter zest
Overall - Very quaffable stuff, easy going, well made
