Cotswold Wheat Beer

Brewed by Cotswold
Style: German Hefeweizen
Foscot, England

Bottled courtesy of Rick at The Woolpack. Clouded cream with slight head. Low imact wheat beer, you have to strain to fetch the flavours, they are there with a banana esther and cinnamon spice but all very much in the background. Interesting that Cotswold have gone into bottling, they should become a little more widespread.

Tap, The Jam Factory, Oxford. Hazy leather/copper, persistent white cap of head. Fresh mint hop aroma, very light clove, a bit of bread. Warm and spritzy on the tongue, a nice cinnamon toasty finish. A surprisingly robust hop backbone. This is a beer drinkers wheat, not a training-wheels wheat. Nicely done.
