24th Aug 2018, cask half-pint, gravity pour; 22nd Codsall Station Beer Festival. Clear golden body, white crown. The wheat comes through in both the aroma and taste, decent hop profile too, below the semi-sweet base.

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at the Exchange, Banbury, Oxon, 02-06-08 [/i] [/b] Pours hazy light/mid gold with a white lacing of bubbles. Initially fruity and sweet but backed up with some light bitterness that hangs around a little. Whilst it doesn’t look bad it tastes better than it looks. Some tanginess, served a bit too cool, aroma dulled by being slightly too cool.
