Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#76. Third beer of the Yarmouth pub beer festival this weekend. An island session beer. Easy, light hoppy, no problem down the palate, looks good too.

Bottle at Brighstone, IOW. Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Grainy malts, a touch of creamy sweetness. Pithy bitter citric hops. Some esters that get slightly soapy. A light but fairly dry finish. Struggling to find anything I like about this beer, it looks fine I guess. Yates have been a massive disappointment after enjoying the other IOW breweries on the Island.
