Cloudy pale orange, thin head, no lacing
Aroma - soft sweet fruits...soft mango
Taste - sweet fruity malts, mango, light cereals, bit of mango bitterness in there, very fruity, no alcohol
Palate - soft carb, medium body. Less acidic than normal anorak, really smooth. Finish as main flavour, a bit dry
Overall - I prefer this to standard Anorak

Cask @ Bow Bar 200712
Light amber, very hazy, creamy white head, some lacing
Aroma - Very soft citrus hops and pale malt background
Taste - Really soft flavours here of citrus fruits, light malts, easy drinking, hint of bitter zest
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, fairly acidic palate, quite creamy. Finish as main flavour with a slight hint of biscuity cereal.
Overall - Very easy drinking for the abv - bit more tweaking to add more fruit flavour will do the trick with this one

50cl bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a disappointing lack of head. The nose has oranges, some herbs against a gentle malt background. The taste has bitter grapefruit pith. The palate is light to medium in body with a long bitter finish. Overall, I thought this tasted more like a Wit in the base part of it and with more hop content on top making me think its like a pale ale too. As a hefeweisen, it is not recognisable, but I do like it.

Aroma: Citrus, grain and light pepper.
Appearance: Cloudy, light amber body with a loose white head that soon fades completely. Slight lacing.
Taste: Orange rind, lemon and a subtle vanilla flavour. Fruity and well balanced. Not particularly bitter, so very easy drinking.
Palate: Light to medium body with a slick, watery mouthfeel. Gentle carbonation.
Overall: This is the bottled version of Anorak (bottle number 1,911 of just 3,200). Perhaps a tad of the watery side, but this is a refreshing, juicy example of a hefeweizen. Nice label design.
