One of the best bitters I’ve ever had. Great flavor, body, nose, and finish. So very easy to drink, truly a delight to drink. I hate to classify this as a ESB, to me it reminds me more of a wheat beer.

I first tried this beer on August 13, 2007 after puchasing from my local LCBO outlet. The beer piured a nice dark translucent coppery red in to a glass with a generous loose white head. The aroma was a combination of nuts and hops, a little spicy. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with some mild carbonation. The taste is very mild with some malty hints and a hint of bitterness of the tongue.

I’m going on a limb here, because I’m way out of line with the other raters on this beer. It’s a lovely, flavorful ale that I would order again and again. The mouthfeel is fresh and zippy, lip-smacking good (I’m doing so right now). If I’m trying an unfamiliar beer, I don’t check the ratings in advance so as not to prejudice myself; once I’ve made up my mind I do take a peek. Usually I’m near the composite rating, but not always, and this is one of those times I’m happy to be a contrarian and champion an underrated beer. A big thumbs up.

I wish there were images of the Wychwood beers. Fiddler’s: nutty, clean hoppy finish, refreshing.

Nectar! I don’t understand the ’skunk’ references in some of the reviews. This is a great malty, sweet, heavy and hoppy beer. Excellent.

Bottled, and clear. Nice orange-yellow color. Lots of hops in the aroma, and pleasantly fruity. Malty and very hoppy flavor. This is an excellent English style IPA. I was fortunate to have this @ Andy's corner bar, where the beer is cared for perfectly and not exposed to light. Most people who have rated this have not had a fresh bottle. This beer is outstanding! Why does it seem that others who have tried this beer and gotten a fresh bottle have said that this beer was sweet and not very hoppy? The one that I had was very hoppy as compared to other Engligh IPA's that I have had. Something is amiss.

This is a great beer. Nice clear light brown color -weak head, but decent carbonation. Taste is great. Wheat And real subtle malts taste. Nothing crazy very easy to like.

Light amber in color. Hoppy and Malty, but well balanced and pleasantly fruity. Great flavor. This beer is great. Lots of carbonation. Nice head retention. One of my favorites. A very good English style Ipa.
