Such an archetypical pubname immediately evokes a "ye olde" pub atmosphere and this pub had it all: Some old English landscape paintings, a brass bar, red tapestries, and a few bar wenches thrown in for good measure.
We met some fellow beer-loving tourists and after exchanging some advice and having had T questioned on his accent, we departed much the wiser.
Oh yes, the bitters, here they are:
SUSSEX BEST:
The Flagship bitter of the Harveys brewery in Sussex and winner of several awards. This one is certainly worthy yet we found it a tad too dominant in its pallate.
Codename B: Slight hint of citrus, and a strong, dominantly bitter palate with a lingering typical bitter aftertaste
Codename T: Very refreshing, citrus, hint of salt. Strong aftertaste. Moistlike finish.
FLOWERS:
Flowers Original, A.B.V. 4% Our absolute favourite of the day, this bitter was a nice and fruity gem and had an exquisitely mild yet deep aftertaste.
Codename T: sweet & chocolate and flowery bouquet. Nice dry finish.
Codename B: Packs a wonderful flavour. Nice sweet and full taste. Fruity undertone and well balanced all-round
