This light golden, clear wheat beer, available exclusively in our pubs during this Wetherspoon real-ale festival, has a soft (yet crisp and full) flavour, with zesty, citrus undertones leading to a clean and refreshing finish.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Lightly hazy yellow golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly bitter, buttery, a weird touch of fruit. Low body, low to average carbonation. Meh.

On gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, March 2014. Golden in colour with a decent, white head. A hint of orange peel and leafy hop, but a bit underpowered. Ok.

Cask at the moon under water Watford. Aroma is earthy dirt and spicy hop, straw, slight oxidation. Golden colour with a loose sticky white head. Flavour is bready wheat grains, eartyjy hop and some orange. Lingering doughy grains. Flabby palate. Some lingering berries. Palatable enough but a bit dull.

Cask handpull at Metropolitan Spoons Baker Street. Clear pale gold lasting white head. It’s a golden ale. Some sherbert hop. Little bit of fruit salad on the aroma. A little underpowered in flavour and malt balance. Distinctly average.
