In Norfolk now but not so sunny!
@obscure asked about draft Woodfordes Wherry last time I was in Norfolk but I didn’t have any more on that trip so I’m pleased to be able to feed back this time.
The beer is a nice golden amber colour, I’d say maybe 14 SRM, and is perfectly clear.
The off-white head is a rich foam of small and medium sized bubbles that stay the course.
Aroma is chiefly sweet caramel malt with a touch of something floral. I know there’s no such aroma as “fresh” but if there were, this has it.
The flavour is also malty though maybe a little more toffee than caramel. There’s a mild citrus fruitiness and maybe just a hint of mint toward the end. The bitterness is quite noticeable but also very smooth and lingers for a good while at the finish. It has good body and probably finished with a fairly high gravity because there is a touch of tackiness on my lips. The beer isn’t sweet particularly but is closer to sweet than dry.
This is the head after 20 minutes, still hanging around.
Edit:I should also have noted that it’s 3.8%

Well done @The-Engineer-That-Brews, glad your beers went down well and hope you made a good amount for such a worthwhile causeApologies in advance for this, because in truth I am more than three sheets to the wind.
However, I've just come back from a party of old schoolfriends (and their grown-up kids) where I provided all the drinks - I put up 4 cornies: (1) Bohemian Pils; (2) GH London Bitter; (3) summer Gold NZ hopped; (4) Ruby Mild. Everyone was happy, and SO complimentary about the beers - I was really proud, everyone was happy and all the costs have gone towards Macmillan.
Please can I say a heartfelt thanks to all the support and good advice I've had on the forum, without which I would not have been able to do this. You need to be very proud

Drinking the last of my Extreme Dark Mild @ 2.8% ABV. Tastes great, but I think I'll make it a bit stronger next time.

that looks too expensive to risk getting knocked over!
It actually is a little pricey. He's graceful enough so not too worried.
But don't put a beer cap, quarter or pen in front of him because he will smack it to the floor every time.
