Thwaites Wainwright (Cask)
Cask: Regular
Originally brewed by Thwaites, the brand was contract brewed at Marston’s Wolverhampton plant (Banks’s) from 2013, then bought completly by Marston in March 2015. The brand continues to be sold under the Thwaites name and logo.
Brewed as one of the celebratory beers for Thwaites bi-centenary. Named after Alfred Wainwright, the renowned Lakeland author who was born in Blackburn in 1907.
A refreshing straw-coloured beer with soft fruit flavours and a hint of sweetness from the fine malt.

Cask at The Wainwright Pub. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has lots of straw and hay with a hint sweet grains underlying. Flavor combines crisp straw and hay with touches of sweetness and grass backing.
Surprised this is only just over 3 by others. Very nice session pale.
Cask at the Calthorpe Arms, London on 12th April 2019. Golden amber with virtually no foam to speak of. Light caramel malt aroma. Malty in-mouth with soft fruits, these two foci combining into a medium sweet blended finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a moderate body.
Cask at Postal Order. Clear golden appearance with thin white head. Aroma is hay, malty and slightly hoppy. Flavour is bitter and sweet.
At The Crown, Albrighton. Biscuit aroma but little on the palate. Good, bright, refreshing ale.
Pint with family at the Kings Head, near Lancaster. Nice hand pulled, refreshing light pint. Moved on to the Keats house beer which was better. It still enjoyed this this sweet, session Ale.
Pint at Swan Hotel Newby Bridge. Clear light gold with white fine head. Aroma, mild malt. Taste, malty, dry hoppyness. Pleasant enough ale.
At Sarsen Stones, Farnborough. Musty malty aroma. Light gold. Frothy if blotchy white head. Light bitter. Juice. Soma spice. Light bodied. Thin. Soft. Dry. OK. Has some character to it.
Cask at Black Friar, Blackfriars, London. CLear pale golden. Cloying honeish malt aroma, floral hops. Semi dry, low to medium bitterness.
Thwaites Wainwright Golden Ale 4.1%. Golden, grassy aroma, light bodied, biscuit malt, lightly citrus, earthy. Light Golden Ale from the Lakes
I had this after drinking the Lancaster Bomber from the same brewery. It was beautifully served in a Thwaites pub (Old Queen's Head, Sheffield), but it suffered by comparison and, though it went down well, it tasted a bit characterless. For me, a routine ale.
Golden pale colour.
Taste is soft pale malts and light fruity with soft hints of hops.
Light carbonation and body.
Classic cask pale ale
A rare cask review thanks to it coming as part of an afternoon tea at The Swan at Stafford. Can see why it is in so many pubs. Its quite refreshing without having any real flavour. Will not offend anyone and will not excite anyone. A true middle of the road beer that hopefully I will only drink once in my life.
The new conservative 에서 구매. 하이트보다 더 물맛이 나는 듯한 맥주. 향이나 맛 모든 면에서 매우 가벼운 맥주였습니다.
Light sweet malt with a big fruit finish and a hint of hoppy dryness. Golden colour with nice white head, east drinking session ale.
Cask at the Ship Inn, Highley, Shropshire. Poured a clear straw colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth, light, dry malt, very light spice, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Well kept and a perfect session ale.
Golden yellow in appearance , straw / grass aromas with a smooth fruity aftertaste

Cask @ The Featherbed Marstons pub, Shrewsbury. Pours gold, small white head. Aroma yeasty, pale malts. Taste is smooth, lightly creamy, subtly sweet, light-bodied.. standard cask golden ale.
Cask at Victoria Hotel, Robin Hood's Bay. Golden colour, creamy white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, grain. Taste is sweetish, malty, biscuit, grainy with zesty citrus hop notes and earthy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
Excellent beer should be prescribed

Pours clear golden with low white head. Aroma of citrus, light malt. Taste is mild fruity with a light bitter finish. Light and creamy body with soft carbonation.
Lovely light refreshing golden ale, perfect for summer sessions or to quench the thirst after coming down from a long day in AW’s hills. Hints of citrus and clean to the palate.
Draught (Mitre, Cambridge)
Lovely milky black tea aroma. Sweet fruity malty taste. Palate as smooth as suade. Lovely fruity esters in the mouth, black tea there too. Such a simple bitter, but an absolute classic one.
Cask at Bower’s Tap, Leeds. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, lychee, gooseberry, light hop. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation.
Cask @ green man Midwich,Staff?s amber with a white head with roasted malts,some sweet fruits to taste leaving a malty,bitter aftertaste it?s a ok bitter.
As far as session English golden ales go on tap this is a well crafted ale - no big flavours here but a clean, fresh balanced malty ale with plenty of body. I detected a slight corny taste but i feel it blended in nicely. Dont compare this to the bottle, they’re leagues apart.
Cask in The Hesketh Arms, Southport, England. A light straw-coloured beer with an off white head. Aroma of sweet fruit and roasted malt. Smooth, fruity taste with low bitterness. O.K. for a Golden Ale. Light but not too interesting.
