Tasting Notes: Wychwood Osprey
Brewery: Wychwood
Location: Witney, Oxfordshire, England
ABV: 6.5%
Version: 500ml bottle
Source: Sainsburys (exclusive)
As noted above, this is is one of the beers Wychwood brew exclusively for sale in Sainsburys. It’s a mid russet/brown colour with a light malt aroma, backed up with touches of coffee, chocolate and raisins. The flavour is quite malty, fruity but not citrus, a bit of dry toast and a smidgen of liquorice in the backgorund, leading to a dry lingering finish. The alcohol content isn’t overly obvious in either the taste or smell. Once again however, I found the dryness of the finish detracted from the overall taste experience; holding back on that aspect a bit more would produce, for me, a much more balanced and appealing beer.
