Cask at GBBF Reddish brown colour. Extremely hoppy nose like so many USA IPAs. Nice berry fruit in the mouth with hops and a very hoppy challenging hop finish. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Much more of a wit than a hefe. A bit sour with several spices; some citrus. Very cloudy and orange but the head is unimpressive after the waitress went to the trouble of turning the bottle upside down over the glass. A good wheat, but I am surprised to see it in the hefeweizen style.

Hazy yellow body, thick puffy off-white head. Traditional aroma of cloves, banana, and bready, tangy malts. Tangy wheat body with lots of clove and hints of banana, finishing a bit sweet for my taste. Crisp, clean, and fresh. Solid but unremarkable.

Cloudy yellow body, thin off-white head. Tangy wheat, wet hay, and coriander aroma. Flavor is bready and wheaty with coriander and clove, giving this beer a touch of hefeweizen character. Crisp finish, smooth with little lingering bite. Refreshing and flavorful without being overbearing.
