First brewed in 2008. We brew Wandle Ale using traditional methods and materials sourced locally from English producers. We use Maris Otter malt from Warminster Maltings, one of the few remaining floor maltings in the country. We use a combination of traditional Fuggles and Goldings hops varieties, together with the more modern Boadicea hedgerow variety to flavour our beers. All of the hops used in the brewing process are whole leaf which give Wandle its distinctive hoppy taste and aroma.

0.5l bottle. This is a crystal clear golden one with a small light islandy just off-white top. The nose has citrus, it's on the light floral side. The mouthfeel is soft and oily while the carbonation is average. In the taste: More citrus, some zest, it feels fresh, clean and actually somewhat good. Easy and lightdrinkable. 27.04.2013

Fairly smooth golden coloured ale. It has a medium bitterness for its taste. Crisp with a small head.

On cask @ The Haymarket Bar. Pours amber with a decent head. The nose has apples and roasted malt. The taste is more of the same although a little astringent at the end. The palate is medium bodied and textured and again I would say it needs a cleaner finish. Overall, solid but not special.

50cl bottle (4,2% ABV) from Varnaveien mineralvann. Pours deep golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly malty with caramel, fruits and some hops. Hint of green apples too. A bit weak in flavour, almost reminds me of flavourful lager. Sweet and grainy with notes of caramel and a pretty light bitterness in the finish. Fairly easy to drink, but quite boring.
