I was rather confused as to what this was when I spotted it in the brewing records. I read the name as “Way”, which was part of the problem. Whereas, in fact, it’s “Wag”. Standing for Waggledance.
There were two versions parti-gyled together, this, which was the cask version and a slightly stronger bottled version. The beer was originally brewed by Vaux and when they disappeared it was picked up by Youngs. Before being passed on to Charles Wells in 2011.
It’s very similar to the other Youngs Pale Ales, with a grist of just pale and crystal malt. Though with rather less crystal malt. And, of course, there’s quite a lot of honey. This being a honey beer, and all.
There are two types of English hops, from the 2004 and 2005 harvests. The hopping rate is lower than for the other Pale Ales, at 3 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt, compared to 4.5 lbs. Hence the very low IBU count.
