Well, well….just did a blind taste and in a big surprise Dark Star SunBurst has come out swinging and has taken out the Hammerpot. Previously, the Tank was loving the Madgwick Gold and that’s why this a big surprise.
Following on from the news of Lewis Hamilton and Goodwood Festival of Speed, it’s only fitting to have a beer that celebrates the Madgwick Cup and Goodwood corner.
This is one easy drinking (half-pinter first sip) Golden Ale…nice tangy bitterness with some gentle hop uplifts.
Definately, goes onto the list for Beer of the Summer 2008.
Had another contender for the beer of the summer from the West Sussex microbrewery Hammerpot with the Golden Ale Madgwick
Got around recently to trying the Hook Norton Brewery - Haymaker and Tank can confirm it’s a keeper and is now an official contender for Beer of the Summer 08.
