Wickwar Olde Merryford

Brewed by Wickwar
Style: Bitter
Wickwar, Gloucester, England

I haven’t seen this beer in a long time and there is no reference to it on the Wickwar website, so I suspect it may be retired. All I can remember about it is that it wasn’t memorable when served in Bristol pubs. A slightly malty bitter, but there are numerous better examples of the style.

Cask Conditioned, at the Market Porter, Borough, London.
Amber with a small to medium beige head. Sulphurous aroma. Bitter and sour flavour. Dull malts with moderate bitter length. Overall, a dull bitter.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Nut brown. Fruity with obvious strawberry flavour. Sweet and solidly malty with salty, really bitter finish. Strawberries!?!
