Wychwood Fiddlers Elbow (Pasteurised)

Aha!... I’ve finally found a Wychwood in a brown bottle! Golden-straw colored, slightly hazy with lively effervescence and a fizzy white head that was quickly but a ring. Aromas were hard to detect, but contained lime, hay and a bit of caramel malt. Flavor was rather bland, starting with sweet malt and ending a little sour. Creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

Medium brown with some orange accents. The aroma is unusually reminiscent of red wine, or even sherry, combined with a plush dose of malt. There’s a round maltiness to the flavour, complemented by overripe orange and a little bitter chocolate on the finish. Not bad but nothing special.

a distinct bitterness; light lacings and a strong aftertaste; medium bodied

Light amber color with no head. Slight malt aroma. The taste is a simple malt base with a bit of bitterness. Plain, but drinkable.

Poured from bottle. Very dissapointing. Light amber color. Light sweet malty taste. Not worth the price of a premium beer.

Poured from the bottle. An interesting organge colour this, with a disappointingly thin head. Aroma isn’t anythign distinguishable, just malty. Quite hoppy to the taste, I get hints of orange zest coming through. A little over-carbonated for my liking.

This is my favorite of their beers. A beer with a buttery almond appearance in the glass. The taste is smoother and sweeter than hobgoblin showing some toffee flavor and aroma.

Bottled. Strong sweet caramel aroma. Amber color, small off-white head, no lace. Less sweet than the aroma suggests, caramel, light bitter. Medium body, little dry, alcohol very much present although just 5.2%.
