About
Brewed in the heart of Sussex, East Hoathly
So why The 1648 Brewing Company? The answer is on the decree in the Houses of Parliament, with Oliver Cromwell’s signature on it to remove the King’s Head. The beer is brewed in the Old Stables and village forge just next to the Kings Head Pub where three Ales are always available from the brewery .

Bottle. Nice frothy head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sour brett, stable, malt, fruits, flowers and hops. Not sure brett is intentional but I like it.

Cask at the White Rock Hotel, Hastings. Straw with a thin white head; the aroma is grainy and faintly citrus - I’m not sure at this point whether this is a Golden Ale or a cask lager; quite thin in the mouth, but with an assertive flavour - some indistinct sour fruit and some strong grains, with a touch of honeyed sweetness; then a dry finish. Interesting, but I don’t think I’d venture beyond one of these.

Bottle. A big, dense, off-white head sits on top of a more or less clear, golden body. Rather funky on the nose, lemony and milky, with fruityness and some pale malts. Dry on the palate, and rather effervescent. Lemon and some milky notes in the flavor too, along with citrus peel and a touch of pale malts. Pleasant bitterness too. I’m quite convinced it’s infected, but it has turned out quite successful. Quenching. 111105
