Woodfordes Mardlers

Brewed by Woodfordes
Style: Mild Ale
Norwich, England

Cask@Battersea Beer festival. A bit flat. Some subtle hint sof o roast/caramel on the nose, subtle hop. Mouthfeel is slightly watery, with a slight acidic sharpness, No depth of flavour, short finish.

Cask at the Alexandra Hotel, Derby. Served By DeepBlack himself. Past its best, perhaps (last pint out the barrel), "no overwhelming flavours" indeed, rather watery but still had a dark fruitiness trying to break through, vaguely disappointing for a Woodfordes but still not bad.

On hand pump from the Cask in The Alex, Derby. No sparkler as it was match day. Mid Brown colour. Fairly avarage Mild, not to strong, not to rich in flavor, but not bad.

Plain mild appearance with a watery and slightly bitter flavour, grassy aroma. Overall a plain watery weak mild that at least kills the bugs in the water.

Cask Conditioned at The Fur and Feather, Woodbastwick, Norfolk. Dark brown beer with malty head. Smooth fruity, if thin mild. Mid roasted malts with a cherry like background.

Founded in 1981 Woodforde’s have established themselves in Britain as a quality producer of traditional real ales, winning several major awards. They are a cask ale producer, although a limited number of bottle conditioned ales are available direct from the brewery. This is a very flavoursome Mild, a beer style that was almost in danger of vanishing but has seen a resurgence of interest lately. Full of roasty flavours with some dark fruit, this is a very refreshing and satisfying brew. Cask - Canterbury Beer Festival.

Sampled cask conditioned. Chestnut brown. Murky, fruity aroma. Light bodied. Roasty flavour. Sparkling and light mouthfeel. Hint of toffee. Average bitterness in the finish. An unusually complex and flavourful beer for being only 3.5%. This brewery is something extra!
