Bottle at Whatley Manor, near Malmesbury, for my Mum & Dad's golden wedding anniversary. Lovely place this. Shame they succumb to the usual hotel disgrace of massively overcharging for beer. Still, at least they've gone to the trouble of sourcing local brews. This one pours a glowing pale amber with a good white head. It's pretty minerally up front, with a touch of cardboard. It improves as as orange and caramel come through but it's still not great. It's a real shame that the beer wasn't up to the standard of the gorgeous surroundings or the food, but it did at least let me raise a toast - happy anniversary Mum & Dad, & may you enjoy many more together!
