Beer number #10 tried at the Skipton Beer Festival 2025. Full on wheat ale, plenty of flavour in this respect, banana evident in both aroma and taste. Hazy golden.

Cask@Derby Winter Beer Festival, 2008. Cloudy and quite dulled yellow beer. The aroma is very lightly citric, and the flavour is plainly citirc and fruity. Overall an average wheat beer.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Orange colour, hazy, low head. Lovely aroma of orange peel, coriander and witbier yeast (in other words: like it should be). Moderately sweet witbier flavour, orange peel and coriander dominates. Moderate dusty hops finish. Not a bad try on an un-English style!

(keg) Fully (overfully, rather) hazy peach-coloured; small yellowish head. Good - no, excellent spicey nose, lunaria, hops, orange zest, mouldy (in the best possible meaning). In the taste, however, the orange zeste becomes completely dominant, maybe resulting in a bit too much acidity in the finish. Very creamy mouthfeel, reasonably well-bodied. Better than 95% of Belgian witbieren. And the brewer tells me this version had more coriander in it, as usually! Thank God I didn’t detect that.
