Copper-colored, nicely balanced taste and aroma. Good mouthfeel and a hoppy but pleasant aftertaste. Head retention slightly less than it should be.

Sample- Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with a thin head. Smells like citrus and malt. Taste is fruity (citrus) and bitter in the finish. There's something I like about this beer's citrusy bitterness. Refreshing, clean, and crisp.

Orange appearance with a moderate head. Aroma is caramel and citrus. Flavor is somewhat bitter with a somewhat strange herbal type flavor. Mouthfeel is a little thin and soapy all at the same time. All its typically Wychwood stuff.

Bottle - clear bottle, what's up with that? Pours clear amber with an almost non-existent head. Malty-bitter smell. Tart hops and slightly metallic flavor. Not so good. Medium body and minimal carbonation.

Slightly skunky, some floaties. Pale gold in color. Bitter smell. It has a different taste that I can't quite put my finger on. This beer is also quite dry. Tastes a bit like Theakston's Black Sheep Ale I tested in the same seating. Floral, tanginess, slight grapefruit citrus flavor.

Amber color with a small head. Light citrus hops and earth in the nose, bittersweet full bodied. Goes down well with a bitter acidic finish.

Yellow, somewhat hazy, small white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, bnut also sour. Flavor is sweet and fruity from peach. Really nothing special.

Clear reddish-orange. No head whatsoever. Nose is of fresh-cut grass, also a bit sour. Uninspiring flavor, the initial promise of caramel malts disappears under a general muddiness of vague floral, fruity, and skunkky characters. Dear Wychwood: your beers aren't good, and THE STUPID CLEAR BOTTLE PROBABLY DOESN'T HELP.
