Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cambridge. A couple of years past its sell-by date when opened, but was fine. Darker golden with a thin head, it has a grainy-fruity taste - the former providing a good nose, the latter with more impact on its flavour.

330ml bottle : BBE Oct 2017. Opened on 21st July 2017 during a ’random tasting evening’ with myself, Bertie the dog looks on. The bottle was obtained from the English Heritage, Wroxeter Roman Ruins shop. Poured into a ’Forbidden Fruit’ chalice. Orange/amber/golden body, wispy white affair on top. Honey, oaty (is that the Spelt?) and grainy in the nose, almost like sweetened porridge . The taste similar to the aroma ideas. Interesting aroma and flavour, I am sure I have had a beer with ’Spelt’ before, but just can’t remember when and where. Anyway, nothing wrong with this at all.

Better than I thought a spelt beer would be. Doesn’t really work. Tastes bitter and messy and there is an astringent aftertaste

Bottle - pours a clear gold with a small white head that dissipated to a thin film. Caramel and grainy malt aroma but a with a sour boiled vegetable note. Light sweet bread and honey taste, a light bitter finish.

330ml picked up at Sourced Market, St Pancras. Hazy, amber-brown, beige, bubbly head. Spotty lacing. Smell of sweet caramel and spelt. Grain malty flavours, rather sourish. Floury bitter endnotes. Watered in the mouth. So-so (shared with Stefan at a hotel room in Leeds, 29.06.2013).

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white cream head. Super sugary white bread nose, some vanilla frosting. Light sweet flavor, sweaty, doughy. Light in body with fine carbonation. OK finish, some white bread, light hay. It’s a lightweight guy.

At Chriso pre GBBF Shindig 2012. Pale gold ring of white beers. Tastes a bit better than it smells but still not great. Some lemon some hop sting but the malts arent good. Poor

Cask at Pigs Ear. Very hazy amber beer with a residual white head. Mildly soapy nose. Light dry palate, no carbonation. Unpleasantly soapy malt with very insipid hops. Semi dry finish. A doff of the hat for trying something different but unfortunately the end result on this occasion is a mess.
