Tasting Notes

An easy drinking, American style Pale Ale bursting with fruity, citrus hop flavour and gooseberry and pine aroma. Dry hopped with a quartet of American hop varieties – Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial delivering a big, bold, brash hoppy beer. Drop anchor for a spell and enjoy.

Wadworth 6X

Wadworth Brewery

4.1%

Full bodied and distinctive, 6X remains one of the South’s most famous beers.

Tasting Notes

6X entices you in with a waft of malt and fruit on the nose and a restrained hop aroma. The same characteristics emerge on the palate but with more intensity, leading to a lingering'malt loaf' finish. A fine balance of a rounded biscuity body with a gentle hop bitterness provides this outstanding ale with a refreshing drinkability.

Hophead

Dark Star in West Sussex

3.8%

Hophead at 3.8% is one of our most popular beers and has a huge following across the south coast and I am sure even much further.

Tasting Notes

Hophead is a pale golden colour, cool crisp and refreshing with a slight hoppy bitterness. Many of our customers who drink it say that they seem to get drunk drinking this as opposed to drinking some of the stronger beers. That's because it's too 'moreish' and they always end up drinking more than they realise!

From time to time, in addition to Hophead, we will also be serving other Ales from Dark Star's excellent range.
