Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned (at 4.5%).
From the Valhalla Brewery in Unst, comes this light, refreshing ale. It takes it's name from the ghostly apparition of an old woman who appears in vehicles, usually driven by lone males, on a lonely stretch of road just three miles from the brewery. White Wife is available with an ABV of 3.8% in cask form and 4.5% in bottles. It is a light golden clean session ale, with a dry, refreshing, bitterness and a characteristically fruity after taste.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Like all bottled beers from this brewery, it is filtered to remove all remaining yeast (but possibly not pasteurised?). ABV is 4.5%. Deep orange to amber colour, some chill haze. Moderate white head. Moderate aroma, some grainy and hoppy notes. The flavour is quite dry, first some sharpish grainy notes, then even more sharpish hops in the finish. A bit too far out on the dry side for me.

Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel.
Pours clear copper with a fine, small, creamy, white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy. Some melon, grapefruit, pine and hay. Also a fine bready malt base with a pitch of caramel thrown in for good measure. Lowish carbonation, fair dryish mouthfeel. Flavour is abit weak, but quite fine. Sweet and rather malty with som biscuity notes as well as caramel. A little fruity hops appear, but doesn’t give much bitterness. Refreshing and fine, though.
