Can from the brewery shop, Lewes. Ticks the necessary pale ale boxes with enough hop to get by but it comes across as too close to a bitter in the ending. Percentage shows sadly.

Harvey’s Sussex Best
Cask at the Royal Oak, Borough on 11th June 2025. Clear dark copper with shallow off-white foam and scant lacing. Richly malty in aroma. Spicy and nutty maltiness in-mouth with an abundance of herby grasses, which go on to feature in an otherwise malty, long finish. A smooth mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. A most rewarding ale. Kept perfectly.

Old rating from 26-08-16 - A 500ml bottle brought back from Lewis by a friend last year. Best before Sep 16. It pours a clear brown toffee colour with a thin white head that doesn't last long. The aroma is toasty, bitter-sweet with flora, light vanilla, toffee, fruit loaf, dried fruits & brown sugar. The taste is bitter-sweet, brown bread, earth, toasty, dried fruits, grainy & earth. Medium body and moderate carbonation. The finish is dry and malty with hints of caramel in a mild bitter finish.

Old rating from 10-05-16 - 500ml bottle titled 'Sussex Wild Hop' from the brewery shop. A gift from a friend who visited Lewis for work. Pours a clear amber colour with a off white head that disperses quickly. Aromas of hop & grain. Tastes of grass, bread as well as hop and grain leading to a mild bitter finish. Overall I was expecting much more having tasted other beers from this brewery.
