Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 02/11/09. Golden in colour with next to no head. Fruity, citrus and yeast aroma. Flavour had the bananas and cloves, with some grain and caramel, before a dry finish. Unusual, enjoyable drinking.

Nov 16, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Old St. Hazy gold with a dense white head. An interesting attempt at a german style wheat beer. I suspect that there is not too much wheat involved, but there is an undeniable spiceyness and the german hops make this beer very different from our run of the mill golden ales. Good effort.

Nov 7, 2009 Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford, in ’Spoons BF ’09. Copper orange with a small white head. Faint spice and clove aroma. Wheat and sweet banana in the taste. Also some sourness. Slight dry finish. Some say this is not the genuine article, but I have to say I enjoyed it.

Nov 4, 2009 Cask, William Wygston, Wigston. Golden with a small white foam. Aromas are wheat and citrus with caramel and cream. Flavours are caramel and gentle spices with bitter lemon. Some toffee and pear with yeast and some nutty, herbal notes. Decent.

Nov 3, 2009 Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Very hazy gold, no head. Banana estery aroma. It’s not as bad as I feared. However, the Germans have nothing to fear from this. NOt enough wheat for a kick off, still trying to be an ale rather than a full on wheat beer. It does make the usual mistake of trying to fall between 2 stools. Not a golden ale not a full on hefeweizen.
