Cask handpump consumed at The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury 28.08.10 Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Its fruity with a little soft chocolate and Loz detected a touch of smokiness. Fruity and sweetish, but nice, very hard to rate as this pub is totally rammed with a Morris Rapper side. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre pub festival, Liverpool. When it said wheat beer on the festival list, I expected a golden one. When the barman poured it, I was a tad suspicious, but looking the beer up, it is described as a "dark wheat beer." Anyway my friend Adi said "it tastes like beer." For me I thought that it tasted a bit like a porter/stout with some choc. Compared with German dunkelweizens, this isn’t even close, but it is very drinkable. The wheat gives it a bit more fullness in mouth. The roasted malt doesn’t really come through. A bit like a dark roasty mild but with more mouth feel. Bizarre.
