Cask at the Monk’s Retreat, Reading. Deep amber with a thin off-white head and a light fizz. Oaky, wood notes with a little vanilla. Some over-ripe banana. Bit of grubbiness round the edges. Little bit of ginger at the end. Nice to see something a little bit different. It grew on me, although possibly not quite enough.

Cask at the Shakespeare’s Head, JDW - London. Pours clear amber-gold with a frothy light tan head. Toasted wheat in the nose with nips of berries, dough, bubblegum, toffee. Medium sweet flavor with further simple toasty wheat bread, some sugary toffee, mild bitter dried berries. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate sweetness to finish, with some dry toast, toffee, ripe and dried fruits, berries, plum, fig. Tasty, albeit fairly simplistic.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby jdw Canterbury. Dark brown colour lasting beige head. Little bit of ester on the aroma. Some chocolate in the flavour. Some hop. I mean there are very few English Dunkel weizen. It’s got some elements of one some dryness on the finish but it’s a little restrained.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A clear deep chestnut colour with a loose cream head; distinct wheat beer aroma, grainy and sweet with some cloves, rather incongrous given the look of the beer; then a soft smooth grainy body with lots of sweet banana to start, then becoming drier with a touch of bitterness; with lingering banana and clove. An interesting beer.
