I have a fondness for session ales. After all, they are my normal tipple of choice when I head to the pub. More than that, however, they are very difficult to get right. The comparatively low alcohol puts a primacy on flavor and texture that higher ABV pints can somewhat avoid. Wentworth Imperial is on the malty/fruity end of the spectrum and is just a little too sweet. It is a touch watery in the bottle, which is disappointing in an otherwise quite pleasant beer. The head leaves something to be desired, and I get the impression that this is a beer designed for cost and not for excellence. Having said that, it is very drinkable and I would be glad of a pint in the majority of chain pubs/restaurants. 6/10.
