Cask gravity at Kent BF. Opaque gold colour with more banana than the other wheat beers I tried at the festival. Some lemon on finish. Fine, but not impressive

A Mes rate: bottle from God knows where.
Pale gold with a thin white film. Yup, that’s a wheaty aroma. Hops are ok, slight lemony note, very perfumed. Light and breezy flavour with a sparkly effervescent feel. The alcohol is totally hidden, it drinks like a 3% beer. Light sourness and just all round a spritzy and cheeky little number. Salty / mineral finish. I quite like it. No world beater but enjoyable enough.

Pretty nice. Classic wheat beer characterisitics such as banana, clove, wheat, some paint in the aroma. Has some lovely refreshing tartness. Some fat oilyness, refreshing, and a touch dull, but i liked it, tasted more German, than it did Belgian Wit as it is listed as above (Cask KentBF03')

Not too bad this. A fairly authentic tasting Wheat Beer from the Whitstable boys, which according to ratebeer are based in Maidstone (which is frankly bollocks). Anyway, cloudy, sweet/citrusy and fairly smooth. Hasn’t quite got the kick and hops of a classic wheat beer, but not at all bad and certainly very drinkable!

My 50th beer, gravity poured in my old home town of Whitsatble. Cask at the East Quay Bar in Whitstable. Cloudy pilsner in appearance, with minimal head. Quite an initial fruit burst, with banana and wheat. A nice sweet/tart contrast in the middle lifts this beer, making it the most enjoyable Whitstable Brewery beer I had in an afternoon session on the beach sheltering from the winter weather.

Botella. Hazy pale golden colour with a mild wheat aroma. Pleasant fruity wheat flavour. Bitter what finish.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 5 September 2008) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, fruity, slightly yeasty nose with toffee, banana and wheat-flour dough. Malty, fruity taste with notes of banana, toffee, white bread and a distinct wheat character. Low bitterness. Rather sweet, with a smooth mouthfeel. Decent shot at the style.

Pear juice color--hazy, unique appearance. Strong banana, clove aroma with a healty dimension of "paint". Interesting but off-balance flavors. Dull, slightly watery palate. This shouldn't be a gravity-pour, as it depends a bit on the vivacity of carbonation to drive it. This was brewed not long after the takeover of Swale by new owners (using same brewing plant and most recipes). (gravity pour at 2003 Kent Beer Festival)
