COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Pasteurised.

A pale golden potion with delicate red hues, WychCraft has a heady burst of fresh citrus aroma derived from three infusions of Styrian golding hops. A sprig of gentle warming malty flavour finishes with a dry biscuit note and a counterpoise of bitterness.
WychCraft’s innovative new recipe includes adding three infusions of Styrian Goldings hops to the copper, to create a highly aromatic brew, bursting with succulent citrus and lime hop character. A light base of delicately flavoured English Fuggles hops, and the use of a lager malt, help retain the signature hop character and create a wonderfully aromatic and fragrant summertime beer. Beguiling to the end.

Ingredients:
Hops: Fuggles and Styrians
Malts: Lager and Caramalt.

GarethYoung (1109) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - FEB 23, 2006
[bottle from sainsburys] Has the typical wychwood aromas of burnt toast, not good. Its redeeming feature, however, is that it does have a reasonable hop character, some citric notes, which almost make up for the toast, but not quite.

A good flavoursome Wychwood brew. Nice fruit/spice on the nose, with a slightly sweet malty palate, there’s a hint of citrus hops there too! Easy drinking stuff, the thick white head leaves a lasting lacework...lovely!

DuffMan (5247) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 4, 2006
The best of Wychwood that I have yet tried. Deep amber gold, generous head. Fruity hop aromas, principally citrus oil. Bold fruity hop flavours (grapefruit, pear) with a terrific soft malty body. Only criticism is it could be more full-bodied, but very good nonetheless!

DonMagi (5598) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JAN 11, 2006
Aroma has the wychwood destinctive caramel malt, but luckily to save the beer theres anough hops in here to make it alot better than any of thier other beers. Taste also has some pear and light grapefruit notes which im a big fan of, could be alot better it has to be said, as the wychwood flavour distroys most of the beer, but refreshing and quite drinkable.

harrisoni (11023) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JAN 6, 2006
500ml bottle from Tesco. Pale copper thin white head. Nice citrus, flowery hop aroma. Really rather nice. Good astringent mouthfeel. Nice citrus flavours, grapefruit and some pear drops especially on the finish. After so many heavy winter beers, this was a real pleasant change.

I’m not really a big fan of heavily hopped beers but this one worked for me. Very enjoyable

johninmelb (1032) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - DEC 11, 2005
Fantastically sharp and hoppy nose. Deep gold with a hint of red. The promise of the nose is not entirely born out in the first sips, in that although pleasantly hoppy, it’s a bit thin and watery. As a result, the finish tapers very quickly. A stronger version of the same would be a fantastic beer.

RichardGretton (4028) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 6, 2005
Bottle. Golden beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is basically dry and hopped with a little bit of toffee, and the flavour is again very standard, dry with a hint of toffee. Overall a very normal and basic beer.

pivnizub (8046) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - SEP 26, 2005
Bottle: Deep golden colour, thin lacing, white foamy layer; fine floral hoppiness with malty undertones and a touch of honey and citrus; moderate malty-bitter flavour; short but distinctive bitter-aromatic (herbal/medical) finish with some traces of malts, too. Good and pleasant - fine aromas !
