Wipeout
Wheatsheaf Brewery LTD

Blind-tasted excl name/style/ABV%.
L- Chestnut brown with a minor yeasty haze on it, nice. Ongoing bubbles rising into a majestic looking 1cm cream coloured fine-bubble head that is holding well. 10mins later the head has hardly changed, that's rare to see... ps 25mins later much still there, lacing down the sides now... you beauty.
S- I've bad congestion.... however I do get a sense of 'festive season'.
T- Lovely, it has quite a contemporary hoppy brightness, orange and maybe plum. Good malt runs in the background, yielding a well balanced ale with a focus on a easy to like bright aspect above a solid base.
F- it's nothing like a NEIPA-type hop-hammer, this is far more considered and confident that subtlety can have it's own beauty. It is somewhat bright but it's robustness means it's very satisfying. Suited for slow-sipping on a winter night.
O- Lovely! The type and level of hopping is a bit more modern than I'd usually go for. But here it shows that with thought it can work well. For a small (micro, nano?) brewery it's really well put together; seriously, the balance, the zero rough edges. Hope to some back to this when I haven't congestion, as the Smell is perhaps more interesting than I could sense. What a lovely surprise, one for the Xmas stocking maybe, if Santa considers I've been good ;)

Bought from Hauxton (Cambs) Food + Craft market. The brewery has a schedule around county-wide local markets listed on their website.
