Fiddlers Elbow Amber Ale

Pros: A good thirst quencher
Cons: Not the best from this brewery

I'm a big fan of Wychwood beers, as anyone reading some of my reviews will soon realize. The trouble is, they keep bringing out different specials each month and there's only so much beer I can drink. One beer that isn't a special though is Fiddler's E ...

Pros: Widely available in the UK, pleasant pint
Cons: A little on the light side for me

For those who haven't read my review on Hobgoblin : Wychwood are one of the success stories of the smaller British brewers, benefiting from some of the larger supermarkets decisions to take quality bottled beer seriously. Both Hobgoblin and Fiddler's...

Pros: Decent beer, easily drinkable, pleasant flavor.
Cons: Not as good as Hobgoblin, decent but not outstanding.

Having not posted to epinions for some time, I decided to update some of my masses of beer tasting notes and turn them into reviews. I was reading the latest beer reviews, and inspired by Michael's posting on Fiddler's Elbow decided I should do this one...

Pros: Has a fruity aroma and a pleasant finish.
Cons: It's too expensively priced for U.S. market.

Note: this review is on the Wychwood Brewery's Fiddler's Elbow Beer. It is not an amber beer nor is it a cider. The Epinions database has it listed incorrectly.

Now available here in the U.S., the Wychwood Brewery [based...

Pros: Taste, Color, Uniqueness, even the bottle is cool.
Cons: A tad expensive but if you like good beer it is clearly worth it.

I live in PA now but in Colorado I used to get Fiddlers Elbow at a store called Total Beverage. I bought it the first time because I had had so many other beers and I was on a sort of "quest" to try as many beers as possible.
I ended up buying Fiddlers Elbow even when I bought something else, it became a staple in my "collection".
I LOVE Fiddlers Elbow. It quickly became my favorite beer of all time, and I have had A LOT of different microbrews and "regular" beer.
To me it is like Heinekens older, smarter, and much prettier sister. Not to dark, not to light....perfect.
Although I am only 25 I consider myself much more of a conissuer than most people. As I said, I have had many, many types and brands and to me this is my number one.
If you want to try something a little different and definetly delicious, I highly reccomend trying Fiddlers.

Pros: Cask Ale, Chocolaty.
Cons: Not readily available.

THis ale is a full bodied ale with a pleasant taste and even tohugh this isn't wine, a nice aroma.
