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.

Muddy orange-amber beer with a good, dense, yellow coloured head, leaving some lace. Very meaty esters’ nose, dried raw ham, dried (sorry, really!) dog poop. A bit grassy too, thankfully. Soft-sweet, cookie malt taste. Just a bit nondescript fruity, ending a bit lacty. Malts dominate throughout, never shaking off the esters. Very slick, medium bodied. Aftertaste becomes more fruity. Well thìs lagerboy is not exactly over the moon with all this taste. It might be better on cask, no doubt, but what I’m getting is pretty close to off-taste!

Orange color, quite big off-white head. Ashy, yeasty, flowery hoppy nose. Lemony-honeyish sweet flavor, some citrusy bitterness in the finish. Soft wheaty palate. Quite typical drinkable but boring Wychwood-product - usually label is the most interesting part of the beer.

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 5.2%. Deep golden colour, moderate head, leaves a nice lacing. Pleasant nutty and moderately hoppy aroma with notes of toffee and caramel. Flavour has decent hops throughout, hints of burnt caramel but the beer is not sweet (fairly dry, actually). Not a bad beer this one.

Pour is a amber with a white head. Aroma is caramel malts with some dark fruits. Flavor is medicinal with some plum and citrus. Nothing really stands out and it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Just so-so good enough for a rating.

Golden body with nice bubbles and some foam. Sweet fruity aroma. The flavour is also dominated by hoppy fruitiness wtih some notes of sweet, dark malts. Crispated. Not bad, but very standard (Sampled at Tromsø Ølfestival 17.08.2006).
