Cask; Seasonal - available June to August.
A light colored, refreshing Summer Wheat beer. A distinct aroma of vanilla with an initial burst of sweetness complimented by a subtle banana flavor with a hint of lemon followed by a complex dry finish which says "Get me another".

Cask at Bree Louise. Very pale golden beer with a creamy white head. Nice bright citrusy aroma. Lemon, orange and tropical fruits. Lightly spicy malty character, quite wheat on the nose. Flavour is light and citrusy with a fresh grassy/spicy hoppiness. The challengers in here are quite expressive with a nice orange peel and soft spiciness that accents the lemony spicy wheat. Very pleasant pint.

Beer No 4 on the Wilsons’ Road Trip 2005. Cask at The Old Harkers Arms, Chester. Yellowish blond. Hoppy grapefruit aroma. Good body, excellent hoppy finish. Nice one.

A mid golden yellow coloured beer with a weak white head. A light but pleasant floral nose, Earl Grey tea, hoppy with some citrus fruit. A weak mouthfeel, but plenty of floral hop, Earl Grey tea again, some citrus fruit and a hint of biscuity malt. Dry hoppy finish. (Cask - The Ouse Amateur Sailing Club, King’s Lynn, Norfolk).

Cask handpump (no sparkler) at The White Horse, Harborne, Birmingham. Copper with a decent sized foamy head. Oranges and apples in the scent. Slight fizz in the mouth; sweet at first then very bitter with a dry finish. Slightly watery. Very full of hops with a hint of cereal malts. Spoilt by a metallic/chemical aftertaste which became apparent after a few mouthfulls. Good, simple but refreshing.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the Olde Dolphin Inn summer beer festival, Derby. OK. Who stole the wheat? Even subtler than other ’wheats’, this pulls off a great balance and a hefy hop touch to the finish.

I thought this was a pretty good summer ale, with clean hops in the aroma and citric flavours. Good, crisp finish. Not much obvious wheat presence but, overall, I was quite impressed. Cask (handpump), The Society Rooms (JDW), Maidstone, Kent.

Cask conditioned @ Humble Plumb, Soton. Pale. Not especially flavoursome straight up but in the mouth there are pleasant leafy piney hops which lead into quite a tangy bitter finish. Pretty good but not really your usual wheat beer.
