One of a run of pale beers sampled in the same session that were not entirely successful - too soft for a regular bitter, not crisp enough for a summer quaffer. Pale gold colour. Nothing came through very strongly in either the aroma or the flavour. Light body - a bit thin. Uninspiring but inoffensive and somewhat short of character. Not bad, but a bit of a disappointment from Woodforde’s, whose beers I have generally held in high regard. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.

Pale ale appearance with a lightly hopped aroma and a standard hopped flavour. Overall a basic watery hopped beer.

If ever a beer looked like piss...Aroma is like the previous gents say - apples. Flavours are weak lemon drink and the finish is poor. Woodfordes should dump this one.

Cask Conditioned. Yellow golden colour with big chunky head. I can only agree with previous apple comments, almost ciderish. Greenish lemony hops with short finish, dry winey grape.

Bottle conditioned. Gold colour, big white fluffy foam head and moderate condition. Quite low yeast and apple aromas that need teasing out with a swirl of two of the glass. Delicate hoppiness in the mouth and vaguely apple tinged. Finish is dry and yeasty. Overpriced.

Massively mild, like water almost. You could just as easily drink Evian as they have about the same taste.

Bottle conditioned, and not very well done. Off balance and way too yeasty. A slightly citric bitter. Not that interesting.
