Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Maidenhead Beer Festival 20/10/2017. Deep amber in colour and hazy, with a thin, white, head. A good interpretation of a witbier, with orange peel, green herbs and grainy malts, leading to a dryish finish. Pleasant drinking.

Bottle from the brewer’s own stall at Whitney Food Festival. The brewer was very enthusiastic and friendly, and I ended up getting a few beers from him. They all come wrapped in paper with the description on, rather than the more conventional glued-on label, as it’s more environmentally-friendly not to use glue. This also makes the bottles look quite striking! This, the first one I tried, was the murkiest of ambers in hue, with a negligible white head. But the smell and flavour more than make up for the looks - really fresh herbs throughout, great freshly picked garden herbs rather than the absinthey flavour you get in some herbal beers. This is balanced against mellow orange in the finish. It’s a tasty, vibrant, refreshing brew. I’m not the biggest fan of wheat beers normally, but I really enjoyed this one. Great first beer from a new brewer, and fortunately I’ve got some more of his to try.
