Inspired by SIBA's Wheat Beer challenge in 2001 we produced a 4.8% ABV beer using 40% Wheat Malt and 60% Malted Barley. To underline the continental heritage of this beer we uncharacteristically brewed with choicest Hallertau hops from Germany. This award winning brew has been described as 'wheat and sweet'. It is light in colour with a moreish dry palate.

[i] [b] Cask at Harveys pub in Southwark The Royal Oak 21-06-08 [/i] [/b] Pours light amber, no head surprisingly clear. Some spices and fruit but big on clove, there is a ginger taste which leaves a mild burning finishes with a gentle bitterness, quite nice.

Cask at the Market Porter. Copper color with an off-white head. Unusual aroma. Flavor of wheat with a slight citric overlay. Not quite medium bodied. Smooth carbonation. Wheat isn’t quite the same as barley. Growing on me though.

500ml bottle from the brewery shop. Copper/amber colour with lasting beige head. Cereal and toffee aroma. It’s fine, nice enough wheaty flavour, doesn’t suffer too much from pasteurisation. Drinkable goodish balanced hop on end. Fine.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A dark orange beer with a small head. It has next to no aroma, but the aroma that is there is very sour - almost like stomach acid. The flavor cask flat with notes of lemon, peach, and with the special wheat sourness before a dry hoppy end sets in. This tastes like a wheat beer mixed with a bitter - is that a new class of beer? on my palate the mixing of styles doesn’t come out well.

Very clear amber with greenish shine; quite carbonated but everything got knocked out whilst pouring, leaving a white rim. Not only it looks, but also smells like an old, oxydised beer. But BBd is still 3 months away (nutty, port, cake, oxydised). Definitely prematurely aged beer. Nutty taste, bit of coloured malt, grain but no wheat. Retronasal typical biscuit. Conform to the rest, mouthfeel is very thin & tired. Something went quite wrong here, I'm not sure what. If this beer were 15 years old, I'd say it didn't age gracefully, probably because of its low ABV. But it isn't old. Even worse. It doesn't fulfill ONE SINGLE characteristic for an Hefeweizen. It's even filtered!
