First thing to note here is that this came in the brown glass bottle so it looks as though Wychwood have finally given in. Looks like the label has been slightly re-designed too to give it a fresh look.
Lovely, clear pale golden pour, but a slightly disappointing lack of head and lacing. Bags of fruity malt aroma and a solid hop backbone give this beer a nice balance. Some acidity too.
Mouthfeel above average, but not in any way substantial. Refreshing with a dryish hop finish that shows character.
If you’ve been avoiding Wychwood because of concerns over clear bottles, now might be a good time to re-visit them. I did and I enjoyed it.
