On gravity at the Gryphon, Bristol 1/3/2013. Golden coloured with a slight, white head. Cereal malts, some grainy sweetness and a touch of sulphur in the finish. Not for me.

Dr_Butty (87) - SCOTLAND - MAY 13, 2012
Wainwrights’. Mid brown, tight long lasting head. No aroma to speak of. Flavours light, nothing outstanding. Not much bitterness. What CAMRA would call a srssion ale. Perfectly drinkable, but little to commend.

yngwie (10754) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 5, 2011
Bottle. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a quite small white head. Fruity nose with some caramel breadyness. Rather subtle, and that goes for the flavor too. There’s a nice, resiny and fruity hoppy bitterness towards the end, lasting for a decent length of time. Else, there’s some caramel and a touch of toffee. Medium body, smooth. A decent beer, but nothing to write home about. 111105
