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.

Bottle picked up from the brewery with a range of other beers in a mixed case pack. Pours an orangey colour, some hops a little bit fruity but has that distinctive Wychwood taste that makes many of theirs a bit of a one size fits all.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, fully golden beer with a limited head. Slightly unusual mixture of barley and wheat malts. Very soft and extremely aromatic with delicious malty, caramelish flavours. Discreetly hoppy finish witout much bitterness. 061001

Not bad! I didn’t expect much. Vaguely floral aroma with some light fruits, persimmon esque, a touch of pineapple and banana., especially in the palate. Nicely carbonated on the low end, giving a smooth even palate and medium mouthfeel. Slight hops in the finish. Easy.

Pours a cloudy orange with a white creamy head...not much of one but a head! Aromas of grapefruit and orange citrus and slight caramel malt. Slightly skunky too, damn clear glass again. The initial sip was citrusy with more grapefruity sourness to it. Could get a little bit of malt, not enough though. The end palate was slightly bitter and still sour...Sad, although I will try this one again in the hope that the next will be better. This is the worst one that i’ve had from this brewery....Better now because of the darker bottles. Not the usual Skunks ass scents and flavours.

500ml bottle - Light brown ale with a medium brew that didn't last long on top of my glass. Usual pale ale flavor of yeast and light bitterness. Body is a bit thin. Also, I don't approve of the use of a clear bottle which doesn't help a beer when it needs to travel thousand of miles to get to my place.
