(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 24 Nov 2010) Copper colour with brief, white head. Fruity, citric nose with notes of citrus, grass and wheat. Fruity taste with citrus, canned peaches, a slightly sourish wheat character and a light, grassy bitterness. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. A bit on the citric side, but decent.

Spoons Fest! Bright clear gold beer with a ghost of a head. Light palatem, low carbonation. A little citrus fruit in the background to some light wheaty malt. A little bit of sulphur lurking around. Finishes quite fruity. Not bad - good do with more wheat zing!

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Pale amber, moderate white head. Nothing really wheaty about this - it tastes like a traditional British bitter. A bit of biscuit, a hint of citrus. Unusually for Bateman’s, there’s a reasonable amount of hop bitterness in there. OK session ale.
