Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#4. WOOL. Wool has a lovely countrified church at the back of the village-style town, not too far to walk but worth the detour if you spend time here. This beer bought close by in the local 'Spar' is a traditional English IPA and quite refreshing for it. It has a low but appealing fruitiness and a steady strength, with a good mouthfeel. Golden with a creamy head and creamy-ish texture
