The second house beer tasted by half-pint at the brewpub, Hand in Hand, Brighton, on 28/06/06.

A: dark orangey amber in colour, coming with a fluffy beer head but great clarity and low carbonation. Fresh enough~~
S: a fruity aroma of Goldings and a muddy/earthy Fuggles like note come together, on top of a firm but unsweet malty backbone, with more funky and slightly "stinky" hayish hints at the back.
T: compared with the first house beer tasted right before this one, "Kemp Town", this beer has more roast-nutty malts... chewy, leafy hops like Fuggles prevail at the back, but taste balanced vis-a-vis the malty overtone; not as dry nor bitter as Kemp Town, but makes a session-type bitter alright, with a dose of licorice lingering in the finish to hook the tongue.
M&D: like "Kemp Town", this one lacks a desirable body as well, but overall tastes fuller in flavour. Still, this is a fresh enough ale to quaff at the brewpub.
