Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - June to August.
Wayfarer India Pale Ale (4.4% abv) is a brilliant golden ale with a dry, refreshing bitterness, in the style made famous by Scottish and English brewers’ exports to slake the thirsts of the Raj.
Small amounts of Crystal Malt, Caramalt and Atlas Malted Wheat are added to our best Pale Ale Malt to give this beer its distinctive caramel-and-biscuit maltiness. This, together with a spiciness from Bramling Cross hops, dominates the appealing nose.
On the palate, the Bramling Cross hops and our yeast combine to produce a distinctive yet delicate orange-marmalade taste.
The aftertaste is dominated by a strong but smooth bitterness, which gives this beer a clean, refreshing finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars’ Scottish beer festival, Bristol 02/09/09. Pale gold with a slight white head. Grapefruit and sweet malt aroma. Hoppy flavour, with citrus, grass and a dry finish. Ok.

Golden with a small white head. Grassy aroma with brett-y grapefruit. Dry and hoppy flavour with brett. The infection may not be on purpose, but I liked it anyway.

’Wayfarer IPA’, cask gravity, The Crown Summer BF 09, Nuneaton. Bright and golden with a tenacious head and lace specks. Freshly squeezed armpit, grapefruit, spliff, struck match and celery aroma. Ripe humming tropical hop, dip of crackerbread and vanilla but hardly any, heady green resins, dry roasted peanut, some butter and popcorn in the aftertaste. Hopped up but still mellow. A belter, betraying something of a BrewDog influence. Hands down Beer of The Festival.

Cask at GBBF08. Distinctly fruity hop aroma. Hazy golden colour, very small white head. The flavour has a really good hop character, grassy, citric and grapefruity. Finally a cask ale with some hops.
