Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#86. Final beer of my last full day on the Isle. Sticky-sweet darker golden effort, quite strong, with the culmination of the aforementioned giving it initial spirit-like qualities. Its aroma has most to with this, in taste there's more of an associated fruitiness to be found, followed by a late bitterness. Found in a packed Duke Of York in Cowes on a Thursday night.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#85. Imported from Southampton. Very mildly hazed golden and a fuller tropical fruit aroma, with the more champagne element in taste very much evident, but also neutralising the aforementioned to quite an extent. It remains decent though with an easy enough texture.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#60. Not too many ESB ales found in a can, but this is an excellent example. Mildly hazed amber, light but very tasty almost chocolate styled malts, hoppy, nice mouthfeel and very traditional in design. Lovely with a fruity aroma and aftertaste. Found at the Duke Of York pub in West Cowes before getting the chain ferry back to the east side.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#49. Bought and drunk at the Monastery. I wonder if the lads here crack open a few of these on their day off??? If they do they'll find a honey dominant, always developing sweet taste, with an associated smoothness in texture.

Can bought at Runcton Farm Shop. Amber gold. Clear. Thick foamy white head. Bubbly top. Aroma is malty with a sweet, fruity gluey streak. Sweet. Fruity. With a nutty edge. Underlying caramel and chocolate. Chewy doughy malts. Flavourwise we have an initial berry hit, If I was one of those type of.peolple I would say, "'Tis sour, my lord." Fruity to boot. Develops a sweetness. Also, caramel. And nuts. Light. Thin. Bouyed by soft-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. This ESB hits the spot.
gave a cheers!

Can bought at Runcton Farm Shop. Hazy orange tinged gold. Lively thick fluffy foamy glass attempts to flee the glass. Spicy with a fruity sweet streak. Latter appearance if resinous bitterness. More spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hmmm. A Pale Wheat Ale, huh. Then sesxribed a s pale ale with soice in the blurb. More like a Hopfenweiise than anything else. (Or a Hopfenwit.) Enjoyable, though.

Can bought at Runcton Farm Shop. Clear amber. Thick fluffy foamy off-white head. Aroma is low key. Resinous. Malty. A hint of spice. Warms up and develops a jammy element Heavy bitter. Resinous plus a good lick of a woodwork table. Tangy. Citrusy edge. Spice. Almost rye like. But a bit rough around the edges. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable. However it lacks a finishing touch, it trips over itself or suchlike.
