COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Seasonal - June to August.
Wayfarer India Pale Ale (4.4% abv) is a brilliant golden ale with a dry, refreshing bitterness, in the style made famous by Scottish and English brewers’ exports to slake the thirsts of the Raj.
Small amounts of Crystal Malt, Caramalt and Atlas Malted Wheat are added to our best Pale Ale Malt to give this beer its distinctive caramel-and-biscuit maltiness. This, together with a spiciness from Bramling Cross hops, dominates the appealing nose.
On the palate, the Bramling Cross hops and our yeast combine to produce a distinctive yet delicate orange-marmalade taste.
The aftertaste is dominated by a strong but smooth bitterness, which gives this beer a clean, refreshing finish.

Nekronos (2655) - Xalapa, MEXICO - SEP 5, 2006
It seemed to me more like a golden ale, not bitter at all as an Indian Pale Ale would be. NIce golden colour and good foam, in that way, this brewery is always good.

Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 14, 2005
[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a very faint note of hops. The flavor is also sweet malty and again with a very faint note of hops.

chriso (7063) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 12, 2005
Cask (gravity dispense) at GBBF, August 2005. Run of the mill golden ale. Fair amount of herbaceous, citric hops. Fresh and clean but didn’t pack much of a punch.

tiggmtl (4475) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 16, 2005
Fruity aroma suggests grapefruits and apricots. Hazy golden-tan body with low white head that recedes to partial cover with some lacing. Grapefruits, grassy hops and a low caramel backbone to the flavour. Very dry medium-light body with moderate pointy carbonation. Cask at GBBF 2005.

TheGrandMaster (2313) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 6, 2005
Half pint pulled at the Great British Beer Festival, a clear orange with a thin head. Aroma is of fruity hops. The flavour was a little sweetish (like a dessert) and somewhat watery in the mouth.
