Advantages: It's big Disadvantages: Well, the bottle's big
I'm not big on religion, in fact you could go as far as to say that, as far as religious stories go, I don't know my Curé of Ars from my murder of Abel ..... (you'll have to think a bit about that one but I'll wait, I'm not going anywhere.)
Anyway, Someone who was big in the bible was GOLIATH (not that it did him much good), and I guess that's where Wychwood got the idea for naming this beer. God knows (he/she/it is omniscient, remember?), the bottle's big enough.
Not wishing to risk retribution (you never know) I'll gently veer off this mildly blasphemous track and ease us into the beer review.........
Long, long ago (1983), deep in the dark forest of WYCHWOOD, on the Oxfordshire side of the Cotswolds, a micro brewery was born in the maltings of the long since gone Clinch's brewery in Witney. Using water from the river ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Wychwood Goliath
enters the pocket too steep and leaves a lot of 10 pins. The lane type that it has been used on is wood lanes.
This ball must be maintained, it is not forgiving like some reactive balls. It needs cleaned every time it is used as it soaks the oil up like a sponge! If you don't clean it will die as dead as a door nail so prevent it by a strong cleaning regime.
I've uploaded a few photographs of the Goliath. Photograph one is to show deep purple colour of the Goliath with the blue 'Goliath' logo, a nice combination of simple colours. Photograph two shows the pin placement and drilling pattern with photograph three showing the ball track (though I apologise for the quality as it was taken by a camera phone and isn't this dark a colour)
This ball maybe discontinued but is still on sale in many pro-shops. The mammoth may have replaced it ...
Advantages: Pace and plot Disadvantages: Well-crafted rather than literary genius
Watching his father die, Paul Copeland remembers spying on him in the woods. Only once. Many Saturdays his father would ''go fishing'' and not take his son with him. Paul probably always knew that it was to the woods his father went, because he sometimes went there too. On this one occasion he did follow, and spied. He watched his father digging in the earth, and saw the tears, and the anger.
Now Paul is all grown up: a prosecutor by profession, he is raising a daughter alone following the death of his wife. He is helped by family?his wife's sister and her husband. He also gets the kind of 'slack' that lone fathers do get ? unlike lone mothers, who labour under a presumption that their being alone is somehow their fault, or maybe just that they are expected to be better at it.
A body is found. And Paul finds himself helping ...
