Tasting Notes: Dorothy Goodbody’s Golden Ale
Brewery: Wye Valley Brewery
Location: Stoke Lacy, Herefordshire
ABV: 4.2%
Version: Bottled
Source: Waitrose
I've been having a bit of a Dorothy Goodbody's drinking period lately. The Wholesome Stout is one of my regulars - it competes with Meantime, though doesn't quite pip it at the post - so it was nice to try this lighter, golden ale as well.
It pours a pale golden colour, with a spicy, sweet aroma. That sweetness follows through to the taste, with a more tangy aftertaste which lingers for a while. It's a nice refreshing beer, ideal for those summer afternoons sitting around the barbeque (remember them?), but just as effective sitting inside watching the rain and mourning those sunny evenings we used to have. Surprisingly complex for such a light ale, Wye Valley Brewery are hitting all the right notes.
