Wye Valley Dorothy Goodbodys Autumn Delight

Formerly brewed at Wye Valley
Style: Bitter
Hereford, England

Rich, mid-brown colour. Fruity aroma carrying through onto the palate, with soft malt and subtle hops joining in. Smooth, but quite dry, finish. Rather pleasant, I thought. Cask (handpump) at Barrels, the brewery tap, in Hereford.

Cask at The George Inn in Southwark. Sweet, fruity aroma, some apple, faint berry and leafy hop. Medium amber-red color, mostly clear with a slight, fine head. Flavor profile is likewise quite fruity and sweet, more red apple and pear, finishing with a burst of tanginess and sugar. Some lingering, leafy hop flavors but these are understated. Palate is smooth, body is light-medium. Just very fruity.

Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common, Bucks. Tawny in colour, with a thin, typical cask head. Medium bodied, very fruity & acific, with medium hop presence. Slightly citric.
