Wychwood Fiddlers Elbow (Pasteurised)

Brewed by Wychwood (Refresh UK - Marstons plc)
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Witney, England

Nice orange colour whith a bit of haze. Aroma is dominated by the citrus smell, which also shines through when you get to drinking it. As others have noted, this is an easy to drink beer.

bottle into a pint glass: all the other ratings tell you what you see and smell so why go into that. i liked this beer more then others. however, this is my favorite beer type (english bitters, pale ales, etc) nice balanced flavors and not 'bitter' malty warm with slight sweet honey finish. very easy to drink beer almost like a british mild. try wychwood beers if you like this style, they brew some outstanding british beers. all the sudden more and more available in the states.

Pours a cloudy orange with a white creamy head...not much of one but a head! Aromas of grapefruit and orange citrus and slight caramel malt. Slightly skunky too, damn clear glass again. The initial sip was citrusy with more grapefruity sourness to it. Could get a little bit of malt, not enough though. The end palate was slightly bitter and still sour...Sad, although I will try this one again in the hope that the next will be better. This is the worst one that i’ve had from this brewery....Better now because of the darker bottles. Not the usual Skunks ass scents and flavours.

Not worth the calories. Hint of flowers in the aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet with bitter finish. Pretty bland beer.

From the bottle this copper coloured ale has quite a fruity impact on you,quite an easy pint.

Wychwood has some great names and labels but their beers don't impress me. Perhaps it's to do with the clear bottles having an impact on the flavor. This had a nice amber color and white head. The aroma was fruity. The taste was fizzy in the mouth and not very pleasing.

500ml bottle - Light brown ale with a medium brew that didn't last long on top of my glass. Usual pale ale flavor of yeast and light bitterness. Body is a bit thin. Also, I don't approve of the use of a clear bottle which doesn't help a beer when it needs to travel thousand of miles to get to my place.

500ml Bottle. Well I gave the whole bottle a good go before deciding, and I still didn't change my initial impression which was that it was too tart for my liking. Small but lasting head, hoppy resiny aroma, lemon tartness and I usually like the bitterness on the end but not this time.
