Bottle shared in Hackney - sourced via Beergium. Pours totally clear, very pale yellow, with a small, creamy white head. Dry wheat in the nose, some wheat flakes, some dough, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with pleasant lemon meringue, mild bitter hay, crispy wheat bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, a little drying, with more flaked wheat, straw. Good stuff. Very drinkable.

Bottle thanks to LKS. It pours crystal clear very pale yellow with a small foamy white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, tart, tangy, grape, gooseberry, green apple and floury white bread. The taste is crisp, dry, earthy, toasty grain, cereal, soda water, melon apple, pear and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent gear.

Draught at Picco, 9/19/17.
Heavily hazy, bordering soupy. Lemon spongecake and lemon merengue hued with a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Lemon, cracker, black pepper and unripe yellow fruits lie heavily in the nose. Very sparse on the malting and no honey or anything like that breaks through to disrupt the strong lemon-lime-nectarine.
First few sips are bracingly bitter. The body is light and the beer very well attenuated, yet a dextrinous or perhaps wheat-heavy texture provides plentiful oomph to sink your teeth (and bitterness) in to. Remains heavily dry on the end and even after warming. Gains a bit too much astringency and comes off lightly soapy, even. Just needs more malt sweetness to balance.

Bottle shared in Hackney - sourced from Beergium. Pours clear yellow with a frothy, pure white head. Nice aroma, a bit of brett funk, lemon peel, dry wheat bread, touches of perfume. Light sweet flavour with more wheat bread, soft funk, lemon, crunchy hay. Light bodied with lively, mouth-filling carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish, with some white grape, flaked wheat, hay, mellow brett, citric tang. Good stuff overall.
