Jul 8, 2007 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark gold. Quite an exotic aroma with pear, gooseberry and vanilla. Lovely, lasting fruity taste with wheaty overtones. A little bitterness. It slid down effortlessly. I thought this was a real winner.

Apr 11, 2007 Cask at Cambridge Blue. Pale bitter, thin in body and lacking much flavour. Curiously "fizzy" sensation in the mouth. A bit weird.

Apr 10, 2007 A Sim Rate (Cask at Planet Thanet): Smells like a curry. Cumin, coriander. Tastes smoky... like a wit version of Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Very bizarre. Wit, but rauch, but wit. Very nice.

Feb 8, 2007 500ml bottle from Brewery stall at Ely Market. Gold/copper colour with lasting white head. Rubbery aroma like all the beers I had in this batch apart from the raspberry stout which was fine. Good citrusy finish. OK in mouth, wheat gives it some depth. Lemony citrus finish. Fine, except for the aroma.
Pub (4124), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
May 21, 2006 Bottle conditioned, 500ml, from St Ives Farmers Market. Gold colour with white head. Moving up the ABV of Fenland bottled beers the better it gets. Initial dry, herby taste then a sweetish fruit note, lemony, grapefruit. Better through the bottle. Not a White beer though.
