Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Amber. Straw and toast. Dry. Got more boring the more I drank. But hey, it’s another of those rare Wight rates and makes my Ratebeer world a little bluer.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#54. First tried at the Moon Under Water, Manchester. Dark golden with a small creamy head. Paler malts evident in both aroma and taste with some sweetened breadiness involved. Crisp, tasty, and easy drinking. West Cowes Yacht Club terrace was the venue for this one as it's a members club open to guests.
