Tasting Notes: Wainwright
Brewery: Thwaites
Location: Blackburn, England
ABV: 4.1%
Version: 500ml bottle
Named after Alfred Wainwright, the author of several guide books on the English Lake District, I would expect this to be an ideal way to unwind and relax after a long day hiking round such a location.
What we get first is a straw coloured ale with a light fruity aroma. There's more of that restrained fruit in the flavour, with a hint of bitter hops and a dash of sweetness from the malt, ending in a slightly dry, crisp, bitter finish. It's quite pleasant and would certainly do it's end of hike job, and while fairly average overall it's still an enjoyable drop.

"fairly average" or not I think you're right in that if you were in the Lakes and spotted this in the village pub at the end of a day's wandering you'd have to down a well-earned pint or three

Aye, it would be rude not to.
