Again, needed to watch England playing in the cricket world cup, so went to the pub in Horsham most likely to be showing it.
The match lasted for eight hours, so I was able to taste several beers...
O'Hanlon's Firefly (3.7%): Slightly wooly tasting and indistinct, but still acceptable bitter. Apparently this is organic bitter.
Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter (4.0%): The first pint was strangely watery tasting and not so good, but the second and third were lovely and of the standard I would expect here.
Ventnor Pistol Night (4.4%): Pleasant beer with an initial taste of bitter hops and a sweet warm aftertaste.
Timothy Taylor Landlord (4.3%): Very light coloured slightly hoppy beer. Good but I have tasted better pints of this.
Brakspear Bitter (3.4%): Unpleasant thick sweet beer.
The cricket was boring but the beers were ok. Unfortunately the pub was really smoky and I was coughing for a proportion of the afternoon.
NB Sorry no picture due to no camera. See the comment on the Sussex CAMRA Beer Festival entry for details.
