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.

50cl bottle from the brewery at 4.2% ABV. A rather average bitter. Amber with a white head; caramel malt aroma; caramel flavour with a touch of citrus, and rather lacking inthe hops department. Perhaps better from the cask?

Cask at the Market Porter, 24th January 2012. Aroma is a little different, sour continental, which comes through in the flavour, perhaps a little Saison,english bitter twist. Not bad, but did not go back for more

Cask at Buckingham Arms, London SW1. An amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hardly any aroma to speak of. Tastes vaguely hoppy, malty, fruity. Thin, bland and dreadful. My god, British beer really needs to up its game.

[Cask at Milton Keynes Beer Festival 2011] Dark amber, loose white head, very sulphurous with green leafy hops and vanilla. After initially hating it, I upped my mark a little whilst drinking it, but still found it unpleasant.
