Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth’s pre-GBBF tasting 2015 - London. Massive thanks to Jezza for hooking up the London crew with this charity whale! Pours clear gold with a white froth for a head. The nose holds bready malts, some ripe orange. Medium sweet flavor with light leafy bitterness, caramel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Drying on the finish, with leafy bitterness, grass, crusty bread, grains. OK.

Bottle thanks to Jezza care of Leighton. It pours clear amber with a medium white head.the nose is sweet, biscuity malt, toasty sugars and cereal. The taste is smooth, toasty ready malt, biscuit, cereal, light pepper and pithy citrus with a short, dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Simple toasty bitter. Forgettable.

Four hand-pulled pints in my local Wetherspoons on 13th July 2015: the cask choice was pretty poor, so I stuck with this for the evening. Brown to amber in body colour: off-white head. Malts give the beer a semi-sweet lead with some hedgerow fruit esters in the nose and taste adding some interest. Mild bitter and drying finish.

Cask, hand-pulled pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 18th June 2015. Slight haze to my old golden coloured pour, the head a steady white blanket which gave of lacing. Tropical fruit in the nose and taste with a bitter finish after a semi-sweet start to the flavours. Decent enough, I just wish this brewery were a bit more ’dangerous’ in their beers: very middle of the road in their products.

Cask. Pours amber with minimal bubbly head. Aroma is light malts. Taste is light, inoffensive malts. Easy-drinking with a light malt sweetness. Not a lot to distinguish this from other Woods bitters really.
