500ml bottle as ’ Parish Best Pale’. Clear, deep golden color. Firm, slowly diminishing near-white head. Dry malts, hayish and earthy hops to the nose. Not very flavorful; light sweet malts and mild bittering hops. Watered down mouthfeel. Slim body. Bitterness in the finish. Not bad, not very exicting either.

May 20, 2008 500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is mild, fruity with a hint of hops. Flavor is relatively sweet and malty with a slightly bitter finish. Rather watery body. Quite straight forward bitter and actually a bit dull. Woods has a few much better brews than this.

May 18, 2008 Fairly standard bitter, unlikely to offend any old ladies in the parish. Do they actually brew different beers, or is it just new labels?

Mar 22, 2008 0,5 l bottle, as Parish Best Pale Ale (Vaaland, Bryne). Clear amber color, white and very small head. Aroma is fine malts and hops. Aroma is sweet malt and some hops, a bit syntetic. Refreshing, but thin and watery.

Mar 5, 2008 500 ml bottle, as "Wood’s Parish Best Pale Ale", courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4%. Deep golden colour, moderate to low head. The aroma is moderately malty and "dusty", a hint of toffee, nothing special. The flavour is nicely balanced between the malts and hops, a hint of toffee again, maybe also a hint of blackcurrants. Fairly light bodied, easy drinking and refreshing. Moderately bitter aftertaste.
