Thornbridge - Wild Swan 3.5%


Taste: this is complex!!! So many flavours! It starts hoppy. Very hoppy. Then someone shoves a lemon in your mouth, removes it then replaces it with a lovely beer.
We noted a four second ale kiss.

Appearance: label looks like a shiny from a panini sticker album. So pale. It's interesting. Columns of fizzy bubbles rise.

Would you buy 2? we have bought two. I would again.

Would you buy 4? Yes. Imagine the pleasure in a summer beer garden / home BBQ.

Rating (out of 7): 6****** total pleasure.

Absolutely love this one, so tasty and only 3.5%, my kind of beer. Highly recommend hunting down Buxton Brewery's Moor Top, which is in a similar vein to Wild Swan, if you can get it.

Thanks for the tip! We'll keep an eye out for that one... Now, got to get more of these in the mean time...
