The essence of every good beer starts with a passion for the product. Every step of the way, from grain to glass, the upmost of care is taken to produce the consistent ‘Hurst’ flavour that has become renowned and celebrated throughout Sussex since the birth of the original brewery back in 1862.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, not much of a head. Palate is light and has low carbonation. Sweetish pale malts, sweet floralness. Modest orange citrus. Light dry floral finish. Fine.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, a bit fruity, some hops, a somewhat fruit hop bitterness but not in a nice way. Average body and carbonation. Meh.

Cask at GBBF 2016 - Day 4. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma has clean pale grains, light lemony accents. Light sweet flavour with simple but dry pale bread, lemon rind, crackers. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced in the finish, with more lemony hops, biscuits, dry pale malts, light bitter hay. Solid golde.
