Cask at the Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell. Hazy blonde colour. A little sour and sharp bur quite refreshing. Wheat character is noticeable but restrained. Not sure what style of wheat this is - doesn’t have the estery fruit of a hefeweizen. Distinctly citric. Overall, decent and thirst quenching but somehow a little unsatisfying.

May 1, 2008 (Cask at Jerusalem Tavern, Farringdon, London, 23 April 2008) Golen yellow colour, cloudy, with white foamy head. Fruity, sweetish nose with lemon and wheat-flour dough. Fruity taste with a citric wheat character and lemon. Kind of sweet and sour. Slightly artificial, with a slight bitterness in the finish. Refreshing, but hardly my first choice of wheat beer or my first choice of a St Peter’s beer.

"I remember that we certainly more than tolerated the St. Peter’s Wheat Beer, but I suspect it fell below the almost matchless standards of the German ones
we’d had earlier"
