Wellington Arkell Best Bitter

Brewed by Wellington County Brewery
Style: Bitter
Guelph, Canada

Bottle from the brewery. This is a golden orange coloured ale with a thin white head. The aroma is nutty with some honey leading to grassy hops in the background and some lemon. The mouthfeel is fairly thin. The flavour has a wateriness to it with some damp wood, more honey, nuts, distant grass. There seems to be some caramel in the finish.

On cask at Queen & Beaver. Appearance: Honey colour with a small White head. Aroma: grass, malt extract, honey, yeast with some hops. Flavour: malt, yeast, grass and a little honey, there’s a nice sweet finish.

I really enjoy this, could probly drink all day. Smells floral, fruity, spicy, buttery, not strong though. Goes down easily, mild carb, weak finish. Flavour is a little weak as well. Great overall for the price.

Poured out a large bubbly white head that stays forever, messy lacing and a super clear, nice amber coloured beer. The aroma seems thick and fragrant. Sweet, doughy bread malts, faint citrus hops, hint of spice. The taste is very watery, similar taste as the aroma minus the fact that you can notice it when you think about it. I notice it more when slamming it back. Ok bitterness. Too fluffy to let me drink more than 1 quickly. Man, this is waaay to mellow. Not that bad but there are better options from England for almost the same price (at least here!)

"Rich crystal clear copper body a ¼” cap floats on top, meh…. looks like a beer nothing special. Blech what a ungood aroma!!!!! Sour sweaty crotch, or possibly old hiking boot with an underlying sweetness. There is nothing appealing about this aroma, it’s like as if caramel could rot this would be what it would smell like. Taste is marginally better then aroma. Sweet malts, grass, a crisp hopiness, more grass, very mild hints of coffee, and some hazel nut in the finish. I could probably drink this beer and not think about it and it would be fine but when you actually concentrate on what your drinking here it falls apart."

Bottle. Sweet buttery malt aroma. Smooth butter. A good kind of candyness to it as well. Nice finish where the hops come out at the end. Very solid beer that can go well in any situation.

Very good buttery bread aroma. Good bitter taste that is well balanced with a hoppy finish. Great session beer.

On tap at The Shakespeare Arms Guelph I really liked this will have to try it again next time i am in Guelph
