Can from Cornelius, Leith Walk. Deep golden body with a light haze and a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of yeast, bread and berries. Flavour of grain, musty yeast, white pepper and a subtle fruity finish. Medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. An interesting, nicely judged beer.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear rich golden - amber with a lasting fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, herbal, damp coriander, warming clove spice, green banana, cracker, damp hay and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, herbal, green, spicy, fragrant, floral, pot pourri, grain, cereal, straw, green banana and light chalkiness with a drying finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Pretty lacklustre in in opinion. Wouldn't rush back.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of coriander, juniper and orange zest. Flavour of wheat, orange and pineapple. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is excellent. A refreshing, well balanced witbier. I’ll be buying more of these.
