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.
