[Bottle at Wadworth’s brewery bar] Now, this is a bit of a shock - a Waddy’s beer that doesn’t have the usual farmyard/straw/egg flavour. It tastes very fresh and light with a hint of orange. It could make for a pleasant beer if it wasn’t ruined by the intense, prickly and almost metallic carbonation.

Hazy amber color. There is light caramel flavor is a medium-round body, but boring anyway.

Amber color. The aroma is not exciting, some stale water. Round mouthfeel (if there is nitro), caramel flavor and correct bitterness. Easy.

Amber color. Besides some caramel flavor, a light yeast presence and very light manure aroma, there is not much to say here. Too simple.

Golden color; generous head. The aroma is lightly grassy, not particularly nice. It has the usual caramel flavor, grassy as well, light sweetness (which makes it easily drinkable) with a late astringency; in this case the grassy touch is not as pleasant as it’s usually in English Ales; correct bitterness, the final has some freshly cut wood too. Simple.

Hazy copper color; compact head. There is some malt, more noticeable at the end, but the hop qualities are rather missing; refreshing Golden Ale.

[cask at Sweeney & Todd Pie Shop, Reading] Red-copper colour, tiny white head. A spicy bite at first is soon overtaken by fudge. The typical Wadworths farmyard flavour comes through for a bit, followed by wood and some brazil nut maltiness. It has a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel, with very little bitterness. Flavours are a little muted for a beer of this strength, but it is pleasantly drinkable.

Cask at Penderels Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 23 Nov 2008. Orangey amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of orange peel, Seville orange and citrussy hops. Fruity taste with orange, mandarin, biscuity malt and a bittersweet finish with hints of orange marmalade and citrussy hops. Medium body, rather sweet. Nice bittersweet citrussy character.

Pale amber color with minimal head. Aroma is light, but pleasant. Lightly toasted with some caramel. Flavor is similar but a bit sweeter and nice herbal tones. I thought this was a pretty good beer but a bit lacking in overall flavor. (Bottle at The Globe, Hong Kong)
