Bottle that I picked up from The Real Ale shop, Branthill Farm, Norfolk, consumed 19-06-09 Quite chuffed to see a new Wagtail beer for me to try. I hold Wagtail in high regard as they are very consistent with their bottles, never had a bad one yet. Pours mid brown with a white filmy head. Good solid rustic beer, nice maltiness, bit earthy, these are the sort of qualities that I have come to expect and really like in the Wagtail range, in some respects they are a bit like Old Chimneys as they appear to have their own distinct thumbprint on their beers and they’re not afraid to look back to the past when trying out new stuff. Nice fruity beer touch of dryness at the end, good stuff. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6
