500ml bottle from The Bottle Shop, Canterbury. Lovely copper colour with thick beige head. Lovely English hop aroma and flavour. Malts are just about right, they carry the hops well, with just enough caramel. Then this big hit of sherbert led earthy herby hop kicks in. Really strong hop finish. Yes some bitterness, but really sherbert sting hop. Really good condition in the mouth too. Just love that finishing hop.

[500ml bottle from Bodiam Castle, near Hastings] Light copper with a moderate off-white head. Orange dominates, but there’s a pleasant balance of dry leaves and a moderate earthy bitterness. Apple comes through in the finish to add to the fruitiness. Top notch and very satisfying beer, lovely stuff.

Cask. A brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of nuts, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and butter lending it a sharp edge.
