| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Clear amber colour no head other than a thin film of tiny bubbles. Noticable caramel nose with some fruity hops. Medium bodied, malty and slight fruit on the palate. Ok, if a bit uninspired. Had worse. drpimento (832), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Nice bitter. Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Poured with a medium tan head that settled down to a partial thin cover and a little lace. Color is a clear nice medium honey amber. Aroma is tropical fruits at first then a little hoppy, malty, and burnt sugar. Flavor’s very similar, but more dominant burnt sugar, and hops. Good carbonation and mouth. Nice bittersweet finish. Session beer. trapez (810), Hilleroed, Denmark

Colour rudy with nice white head, which disappears almost immediately. Malty aroma. Taste very bitter. Almost no carbonation - flat. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia

Clear brown-red colour, nice head but a bit too low. Big hoppy flavour with light malt. Bitter hop and pleasant malt finish with a medium mouthfeel. Hops seem to be at every stage.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2007 I agree that this is the best from Wychwood I’ve had so far because it has a phat malty layer along with some grain flavors and a not too dry finish. The soapyness is part of the style but it does kind of ruin things a bit. I picked this up at Tommy’s wine and food emporium in Duck, NC because the traffic was a bit heavy (should of gone to Chips in Kill Devil Hills). Maybe I should have spent less than $5.99 and opten for a $3.99 Chimay. beachbum25 (786), Powellville, Maryland, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Mar 6, 2007 500 ML Bottle-Poured a cloudy amber color w/a slight head. Floral hopped aroma. Stale bread dough/yeast flavor w/a creamy texture I didn’t find too appealing. Didn’t find this to have much of a hop flavor, maybe the barley was just too strong & overpowered it. Did have a little bit of a bitter finish but it wasn’t enough to save this one, didn’t taste nearly as good as it looked. I wouldn’t drink it again. jujubeast6000 (784), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Reviewed 04/02/2009 (Bottle):
Pours a cloudy orange red body, dark. Foamy whitish colored head, diminishing. Sweet fruit aroma. Very dusty musty English smelling aroma. Watery, not carbonated honey taste. Sweet tasting but not sickly palate, or taste. Very English tasting. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 2, 2006 (04.23.06) One pint, 0.9 oz brown bottle from Whole Foods, Deerfield, IL. Poured clear amber with small white head. Good carbonation. Fresh fruity/malty aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts dry with light toasted malt flavor. Finished dry with light hop bitterness. Mild delicate malt flavor. Well-balanced, this is a delicious drinkable ale. Hard to believe that this very good beer was brewed by Wychwood as I tried three of their other beers and found them to be wanting.
