A Mes rate. Barrel at the Weekend of Tarts.
Excellent golden brown colour with a thin white head. A sweet, but rather loveable wheat wine type thingamajig. Obviously plenty of wheat, loads of body and a good dollop of honey and estery fruit. Decent but not something I would go mad for.

Thanks Phil. Slightly hazy dull straw. Some malt on the nose, with light glue notes. Very sweet, honeyish in its softness. Interesting. Very sweet, not heavy though, with a light almost junipery berry note.

Bottle at WSF. Slightly hazy gold with scant head. Interesting floral aromas have some custard, fig jam, dates, yogurt. Interesting smells. Flavors are smooth and include honey. Delightfully honeyed with apple and pear. Very easy going, good mouthfeel, so totally not chewy. I like it, it’s really nice.

WSF 2009, thanks to Phil. Golden with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, bread crust, phenols, and banana and bubblegum esters. Sweet banana, malt and honey flavour. A touch of alcohol. It’s wheat, it’s strong and it’s English! How unique!
