Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - September to November.
NOTE: Originally brewed as a cloudy wheat beer, changed in 2004 to a clear beer.
Tempest Wheat Beer (4.9% abv) is a crystal-clear, full-flavoured wheat beer with hop, citrus and spice character.
This beer takes a balance of Atlas Malted Wheat and Pale Ale Malt. Three additions of Hersbrucker Hallertau hops give a pronounced yet mellow hop character. The banana and citrus character of our yeast, and additions of spices and lemon zest to the boil, complete this beer.

Cask@Twickenham Beer festival. Slightly wheaty malt characters, after all it is a wheat beer. The odd thing is that it had a quite a butterscotchy/caramel sweetness, which i don’t really expect to taste in a wheat beer. A bit on the sweet side. wasn’t bad, but its just not whta i expected from a wheat beer.

Myt work has got this in as part of thier beer festival starting next week. Aroma is lightly fruity with a decent amoutn fo the clove/wheat associated with these beers. Taste is similar with the malt of the ale coming through more and more, though clovey wheat and maybe some fruits having a wee say too, reaosnably sweetish finish. One of the better british wheat beers anywa, not that there is that many.

Well, an Ale Wheat Beer. Anyway, it was nice, but I think the wheat was hidden behind the Ale normal flavor.

Gravesend Fest. Seasonal cloudy wheat. Slightly sour, acidic aroma. Muted flavours - soft, a bit sweaty - some citric fruit. A little hint of cider. Not impressed. Infected?

Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham during their "Wheat Weekend". Very nice gold/brown colour. Very tasty - creamy, slightly raspberry bitterness. Thinnish, but smooth. Quite a sweet finish, with just enough tart to take the edge off.
