Wye Valley Butty Bach

Brewed by Wye Valley
Style: Bitter
Hereford, England

Ruby amber pour with a thin creamy head and heavy, spotty lacing. Light malt aromas, some crystal and some wheat. Hops are balanced and light. Malts are little more thick in the flavors, with the bitter hops coming out to play. Citrus: orange. Wheat is about. The palate is creamy and a light body. The finish is pretty much malt and citrus.

bottled: pours copper orange with haze slight tan head. not alot of CO2. nose is grassy or hay hops with some earth character. the mouth follows the nose with some citrus orange flavors. could be a little fuller but not bad and better then most of these rates show.

I agree with the majority here. Nothing really to shout about. A quite dry session beer, not much malt in the mouth. Caramel, butterscotch aroma. I won’t be buying this again.

Bright orange appearance, slighlty hazy, ever present thick white head, decent lacing. Faint, fresh lake water aroma. Good thick mouthfeel, very creamy. Faint bitter flavor with some noticeable Fugles presence. Not much of a malt presence, slighlty unbalanced. Slight peppery notes in the back end. Kind of bland - no real high notes, just kind of there. Ok for session purposes.

Deep red/orange with little or no head. Hoppy slightly carmel nose. Light throughout the palate, showing some maltiness. Bitter hoppy finish. Very light and not that interesting.

Bottled. Amber in colour with a mild spice and sulphur aroma. Flavours are floral hop and buttery malts. Quite bitter and "chewy" like a decent IPA. Has a good chalk-dry finish.

Mild malt aroma with some fruity esters. Amber color with a full head. Good malt flavors with a good english hop taste and bitterness. Tastes like a well made english special bitter or close to an ESB. The beer has a classic english yeast aftertaste that I have tasted in quite a few homebrews. This was a good overall beer that rates higher than most people have it here.

Pours a hazy gold that is slightly reddish. Very little head. Aroma has light citrus and malt. The flavor has a little orange and some earthiness. This is too light in both aroma and taste.
