Description

A silky-smooth premium ale, Horndean Special Bitter was originally the flagship beer of Gales Brewery in Hampshire. First launched in 1959, it's still brewed with the same passion and pride today – and the age-old recipe continues to go down a storm

Brew Notes

Brewed with the finest malt and hops, HSB imparts the rich, soft-fruit flavours of traditional Dundee cake. It’s a tawny, russet coloured beer, with malt and raisin on the nose – and a gentle sweetness that lingers long into the silky smooth finish

Reviews

First time i have had

"First time i have had this since I did a Gales brewery trip in the 80s. It is very reminiscent of the original, has a good depth of flavour and sufficient alcohol for a decent hit. I will definitely buy this again now, safe in the knowledge that Fullers have done the old recipe proud and produced a decent quality ale."

Lovely beer with good memories attached

"When I was a child, my family would visit an elderly aunt of my father's in Hampshire. My father always took us to a Gales pub so that he could have a couple of pints of Gales. I was always allowed to have a sip. HSB tastes of childhood to me."

I always loved draught HSB

"I always loved draught HSB and was delighted to see it resurrected by Fullers. Excellent beer. Just a shame it’s not bottle conditioned."

Brilliant HSB

"This is now competing with London Pride as my favourite ale. Good strong malty flavour. Settles well when poured without excessive/froth unlike many other (non Fullers) bottled beers."

Can't go wrong

"Great being able to order for home delivery. Haven't had HSB for ages so had to give it a go, glad I did. Delivery was quick as well. No prizes for guessing that I'll be ordering again. . . . 😀"

HSB. Classic Brew! I grew

"HSB. Classic Brew! I grew up in Hampshire. So a pint of the Gales of Horndean was easy to come by. A warming best bitter, sweet and hoppy with a lovely ‘mouth feel’ with a sustaining lively head. An Abv of 4. 8 means in packs punch and that’s why I always have in my beer store!! Well done Fullers for keeping this alive xx"
