Wandle

This is a 3.8% light ale by 'London's Local Microbrewery', Sambrooks. It is named after a tributary river of the Thames which flows near the brewery in Battersea.

I'm not usually a fan of 'weak' beer, but I was pleasantly surprised by this - which I sampled at the Hat and Tun in Clerkenwell, London.

Its appearance was fresh and golden, with a classic lightly lathered head.  The aroma was delicately fruity, with mild hints of spice and fresh citrus fruits.

Wandle tasted fruity and sweet, which led into a light spice and lemon flavour combination.  It ends with a satisfyingly moreish bitter finish.
