Description
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 .

Cask gravity at Reading BF 08. That’s a decent beer, some citrus. Pretty decent, nice citrus fruits. Overall a pretty decent session beer. And my last beer of a very long day. Unless of course you count the halves of P2 Imperial stout and Moor JJJ IPA I had bottled back at my hotel. Oh the hangover.

From gravity dispense at The Reading Beer Festival, sampled with Finn. Dark amber body with a slight haze. Some patches on the surface. Dark fruits in smell and taste. Nice bitter finish. Rather well bodied. More than average for a golden ale (02.05.2008).

Gravity dispense, shared with Finn. Copper body under a thin, filmy layer. Inviting floral hop in aroma. The taste is a bit weaker with ripe fruits and sweet malts. Bitter notes towards the ending (Reading BF, 02.05.2008).

Cask cellar run at Ship & Mitre BF, Liverpool. I come from Kent to Liverpool and have a Sussex beer. Gold, no head. Some fullness from the alcohol. Decent strong beer in the style of Summer Lightning. OK, some stone fruit flavour. Alcohol is a bit obvious. White pepper hop finish.

Cask at GBBF 2007. A hazy amber beer with a thick off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of honey as well as a light flowery hop note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of flowery hops and honey, leading to a dry hoppy finish.

Cask@GBBF2007. Deep golden colour, not a that big white head. Aroma is pleasant, and hold some fruity hops, nectar, vegetables and slight wooden notes. Flavour is wooden, hoppy and quite grassy. Not too wellbalanced, and quite watery.

Cask handpull at Brewer’s Arms, Lewes. Hazy gold, thin off white head. Decent hop, floral tangy citrus. Some yeast on aroma. Malts are quite juicy. Good floral hop finish which builds to a nettley citrus zing.
