07|05 Witbier - Nelson Sauvin

Draught at the brewery. Gold pour with a white head. Aromas of ginger, bitter citrus and some notes of sweet spice. Lots of spice and citrus in the flavour. Interesting.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy pale gold lasting white head. Decent fruit. One of the better nelson Sauvin beers I have had recently. That lovely tropical fruit flavour some wheat beer character. Good.

Draught at BBNo. It pours cloudy gold with a decent white head. The nose is doughy, grainy, cracker, orange sherbet, pear, gooseberry and white grape. The taste is crisp, bitter, light citrus tartness, gooseberry, pear, lime cheesecake, white grape and dough with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Refreshing and quaffable. Nice.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a frothy white head. Kind of an interesting nose, with some damp grains, nips of chamomile, apple, melon. Light to medium sweet flavor with light doughy wheat, some ripening lemon, hay, bubblegum, apricot. Light to bodied with somewhat soft carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish, with some tangy citrus character, modest doughy sugars, mellow bitter straw. Not terribly cohesive. Almost no nelson character to speak of. Not a bad beer, but certainly not up to the usual BBNo standards.
