Bottle. Lemon, orange and wheat aroma. Orange yellow color with big head and moderate efferverscence. Lemon-orange and wheat malt flavors. Light and refreshing.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. My second cracking O’Hanlons beer in a week following the Port Stout. Cloudy gold with thin white head. Lemon, cereal and well chosen hops on the aroma. Good in mouth, not overly fizzy, good depth of flavour. Nicely fragrant on the end. Touch of peachy fruit too. Good wheat beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Incredibly fresh, citrusy nose, high carbonation. The bottle fermentation has created an immense pressure so that the beer almost floods out of the bottle. Pronounced hoppiness by which this British wheat certainly is different from it’s German and Belgian counterparts. But quite fresh although mainly from the hops - you don’t find the refined fruity wheat esters in this. Unfortunately. 240105

I love wheat beers so even though I had never heard of this one I eagerly grabbed it. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer pours a cloudy golden amber color with a huge yellow-white head. The aroma is light and fruity with a hint of spice and banana. And there it stops because the flavor contains none of this. The flavor is mild at best and bitter and dry. Only a vague hint of citrus or even wheat. There really was nothing much good to the flavor of this one. They call this one their double champion wheat. Obviously there must not have been any other contestants.

A clear orange beer (at least untill the yeast is poured) with a huge very bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet malty with clear notes of wheat, but even stronger notes of hops, almost grassy - which is quite unusual for a wheat beer, but very pleasant - a very fresh aroma. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, wheat, coriander, and other spices - not nearly as good as the aroma - where did the hops go? The mouthfeel is flat, even though it is bottled contitioned.

Clear golden with a large head of huge bubbles - high carbonation that doesn’t seem to make its way into the mouthfeel as much as I expected - crispy and lemony up front - making way for a touch of grainy malt and a slight hop profile - citrus and hop finish - refreshing.

Looks like a pale bitter with a lightly citric and well hopped nose. The flavour is lightly hopped and citric as well. A different sytle of wheat beer, not on a par with the Belgium or German efforts.

Unique, bursting with herbal hoppiness, yeasty fruitiness, and quenching wheaty acidity. Complex and flavourful - a standout amongst American-style wheats.
