Woodfordes Nelson's Revenge

I was recently given a bunch of Real Ale bottles by my wife for my birthday. These bottles came at a good time as my regular stocks from Tesco had dwindled and my cupboards were bare! Two of these gift bottles were Woodfordes Nelson's Revenge (4.5% abv), a Special Bitter which is fairly hoppy with a strong malt backbone. I like this beer, although I am a little put of by the marmalade aftertaste. To explain further, I am all for citrus flavours in beer, Like a good APA for example, but this sour orange taste was a little unpleasant and not really to style. One thing i do like about Woodfordes is that you can brew the beers at home. Yes, that is right! Woodfordes sell 3kg bittered malt extracts to homebrewers for all of their regular beers. Excellent.
