Wychwood Brewery Company Ltd Goliath English Bitter at 4.2% ABV (C$3.68 at NLC Howley Estates, 500 ml, best before 31-Jul-2017, acquired 7-Sep-2016, reviewed 11-Sep-2016)
Appearance: clear pale amber with one fat finger of rocky ivory head, good retention and moderate lacing. (4/5) Aroma: nutty, caramel malt, grassy, light fruit. (5/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, mild bitter, light metallic. (5/10) Medium body tending slightly watery, moderate-low carbonation, sweetish short duration mildly bitter finish. (2/5)
Another less-than-impressive Wychwood offering. A bit sweet and a bit watery, with a finish that isn’t so much bitter as astringent, especially as the initial sweetness fades. An unexciting interpretation of an unexciting style. (10/20)
