500ml bottle shared with Arild, and as a partner to a fresh made summer salad. Nice and funny label design. Late straw coloured body with a huge, white head, quickly diminishing to a filmy layer. Discreet aroma of floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour and notes of mild wheaty malt. Well balanced, but average for the style (The Cove, Covent Garden, London 03.08.2009).

Cask conditioned at The Cove, London
Pale blond color. The aroma is quite citrusy. It has a clean but crispy malt flavor, with good citrusy hops and good bitterness. Pleasant. Underestimated.

Cask at the Cove, Covent Garden, London. Wonderful fruity, floral hop aromas. Amber gold color with white head. Great floral hop bitter over wheatiness. Finishes nicely bitter. Extremely refreshing.

Cask at The Cove, Covent Garden, London. A hazy golden beer with a thick off-white head. The aorma is sweet with light malty notes. The flavor is sweet with citrusy notes as well as light notes of wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish. The body is thin, and all in all it is boring.

Cask@The Cove. Pale orangeish golden colour with mediumsized white head. Lacing. Aroma is wheat and some spicyness along with bananas. Flavour is wheat, some spices, slight bananas and other fruits. Experimental, but not too good. Like a blond ale meeting a wheat beer.

Cask handpull at The Cove, Covent Garden with Yogi Beera, Pivo, Chris_O and Kook. Ooh this was poor. Not sure what it should be and not sure Skinners, who are normally pretty good, should have made it. Golden with disappearing head and the barmaid had not improved it by adding a slice of lime to the glass. Bizarre, odd and I can’t really say anything else.
