A pale wheat beer. Honey and banana nose advises the sweet taste but not the sweet, dry spicy finish from this wheat beer.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Light yellow gold and clear with a small frothy white head. Lotsbof lacing. Wheaty floral aroma slightly overshadowed by a metallic edge and a surprisingly boozy character for 6%. Tastes sweet and perfumed with a good amount of Hop bitterness in the finish. Bit of tropical fruit in the aftertaste. Full oily body with soft carbonation. It has some issues but it's overall a good enough beer.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with minimal scummy off-white head. The aroma has citrus and orange plus hints of banana. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with flavour of mango, banana and peach and traces of malts and lactose. Later on some alcoholic strength comes through and there’s a bitter metallic undertaste. Finish is dry and slightly spicy. This is pretty decent, if a bit strange. It certainly hides its strength well.

1/3 pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. A wheat haze to a golden body, lacing rings down the glass, fair white head. Moderate wheat fruity nose, grassy. Mid-sweet ripe banana flavours added by grassy hops and wheat. Sweet and soft wheat fruity end. So and so. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a short-lived, bubbly white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light banana. The flavour is light sweet, with a dry, yeasty, herbal, light floral, banana palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A little extra carbonation would have been nice, but hey it’s cask!, otherwise a very drinkable beer.
