Fiddler's Elbow is a wonderfully refreshing beer brewed with wheat, malt and hopped with Styrian Goldings. It has an earthy hop aroma balanced by juicy malt, with a tart citric fruit flavour & a long quenching hoppy finish.

(Im internet wir es als "Summer Ale" bezeichnet) Geruch: malzig-frisch. Das Bier ist schön weich-vollmundig, sehr süffig; kaum herb und schön "sämig"-weich. 
Sehr schönes Bier, da bekommt man ein Bisschen Lust auf Schokolade.... im Nachgeschmack schön frisch-hopfig, ohne spürbare Herbe. Sehr schön zu trinken!!!! Höchstens im Nachgeschmack einen Tick zu laff-metallisch, aber nicht weiter störend.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur ambrée et légèrement voilée. Nez malté de caramel sucré et très légèrement rôti, léger de houblon herbeux aux notes florales avec des petites notes fruitées (agrumes) et très légèrement épicées (poivre). Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Goût légèrement fruité (agrumes) aux petites traces épicées (poivre doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût malté du genre caramel aux faibles notes rôties, avec quelques traces de miel et de blé puis finalement l’on retoruve une légère amertume de houblon hebreux et floral. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec des traces rôties.

Originally rated June 2004. As always, great looking label on a clear 500ml bottle, from Wychwood brewery. Poured a nice golden-orange with an average head. Had citrus aromas and taste, with a light bitterness. Also, hints of apple. Not bad, but prefered Hobgoblin from this brewery.

’The last night of the Proms’ is on the television, so what better beer to watch it than Fiddlers Elbow? Brown 500ml bottle, best before March 2008, drank Sept 2007: poured into one of my Franziskaner Weissbier glasses, well it is brewed with wheat. Light red in colour, an orange hue to it, sparkling and clear with bubbles ripping through towards the full, half-inch thick off-white head. The aroma is all about sweet caramel, very strong in deed. The taste is a bit of a let down, caramel flavours, but not much else. As the beer warmed some lemony, citrus notes did arrive and the sweetness gave way to a tartness I didn’t take too. I have had this beer on draught (cask) and it was a lot better than this bottle. A strange beer to review, fairly weak mouthfeel, but there is something there, difficult to explain, my vocabulary obviously isn’t up to describing it.

Bottle @ Lorry in Oslo. Amber colour with a white head. Fresh taste and lots of hops in the flavour. Hoppy, fruity and moderate malty aroma. Almost a perfect British ale.

Cloudy hazy amber colored beer, almost no head. Not a very nice smell. Average taste, low to medium carbo and body. Decent.
