Picked this up at Malvern Spring show which I attended the other week. Not sure that it was straw coloured thought it appeared a bit darker. Once again a Woods beer that failed to excite, some maltiness present and a little sweeter than some of its stable mates but it’s most stand out feature was that it didn’t stand out at all. I went to this brewery many years ago whilst with Worcester CAMRA and had a great day, it’s not that they make bad beer they don’t it’s just that their beers fail to excite.
