The hops are Admiral for bitterness and Perle and Cascade for aroma. Pale, Crystal and Amber malts give a depth to the beer. This beer is complementary to food and nice to just drink and share with friends.
 Finished  Havant 5  Ale This is a special bitter at 5%. The colour is that of conkers. The taste is of coffee and caramel derived from a complex malt profile of Pale, Chocolate, Crystal and Amber. Plus added Mollases. This complex profile is offset by a balanced bitterness drawn from Admiral hops for the bitterness and Fuggles and Goldings for aroma. Finished is an ale to be considered and enjoyed like reading the Sunday papers in a wing back leather chair.

A very popular local band called “The Larks” they have a great range of music.

Saturday night we have a fantasic cover band on called “Leech”

LEECH predominately play covers, from REM, BEATLES, NIRVANA, THE WHO, GREEN DAY , so all types of music genres are covered so that everyone can enjoy the music and no one feels left out, however LEECH occasionally perform a few original LEECH songs which are always applauded as there is something very distinctive and catchy about them! 2004 was a fantastic year for LEECH having played over 60 gigs in the London area and a six-night stint in Nice , France ! 2005 is set to be more of a success than last year with more gigs in the UK and abroad and for the first time a full studio album of original material!
