Royal Blenheim, Oxford

I tried The Wayland Smithy, The Village Idiot and The Guv'nor. All three brewed by the White Horse Brewery.

I found the Village Idiot to be the best of the three. That's 'cause I like light hoppy beer.
The Wayland Smithy is darker and more malty, and the Guv'nor is stronger than The Idiot, and sacrifices delicacy and fragrance for body and strength.

The staff are knowledgeable about the beers and will let you try a sample - so, you try before you buy.
