A wheat that smells more interesting than it tastes. Smells dry and floral from the forage and while a bit of that carries through on top of a normal wheat flavour but it's a touch watery and tame. Decent but after smelling so promising it's a bit disappointing.

Can from lightly hazy golden with a medium foamy white head. The is fresh, fragrant, floral, lemon - lime, gorse, coconut, grassy, straw, hedgerow and spice. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, straw, grass, loads of floral notes, soapy, gorse, pithy, zesty lemon and some peppery spice with a dry, floral / soapy finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Rather nice spring, floral vibes, but the taste is a bit soapy for my liking.

Can from Cork & Cask. Milky golden body with a tight white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of sulphur and rubbed flower petals. Flavour of plastic and mould. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is undrinkable. A rare dud from Cross Borders. Something has gone wrong here.
