Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#7. WOOL. Drank this one in the Ship Inn in Wool, just across the river Frome from Woolbridge Manor - scene of the honeymoon in Thomas Hardy's book 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'. Light golden with a mild haze, carbonated with a dryish-hoppy tropical fruit aroma and taste.

500ml bottle from Tesco Extra in Chesterfield - Dark black body with a slight red hue, lasting off-white head. Chocolate dominates the nose, big Black Forest Gateaux vibe throughout, dusty cherry finish. Not too sweet, not too dry.
