Cask@The Criterion, Leicester. Golden beer with a good head. The aroma is fruity with some dryness, and the flavour is fruity with some sourness and bitterness. Overall a good beer for an English wheat beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

33 cl bottle @ Majaranta, BBE 03/2014
Aroma has english toffee, licorice and some ash. Flavour has salty licorice, herbs, tobacco, ash and some coffee. Pairs ok with BBQ steak. The licorice is nice here but the saltiness and herbal notes are too overwhelmng.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/7/2013. Deep gold with a slight white head. A touch of citrus hops, biscuity malts and a decent, bitter finish. Fine.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common London Beer Festival July 2013 - Le Gothique. Pours dark brown with a frothy beige head. Plenty of roasty malts in the nose, hints of earthy hops, some wheat and banana. Light to medium sweet flavor with bitter roast, charcoal, cocoa, light banana, earth, burnt pine. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Bitter earth finish, some burnt wheat, charred toast. OK. Lots going on here, that’s for sure. Hard to classify in terms of style, but since the base beer is IPA it’s made with roasted malts I went black IPA; of course, the wheat and oat additions kind of throw a spanner in the works, but there you go.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Chocolately dark malty aroma, hints of cocoa and nougat. Taste is initially minimally sweet dark malty, hints of dark fruit, later with notes of coffee, chocolate, cautious floral hoppy overtones, eventually dry and roasty in the finish. Very good.

Bottled (from AbM). Deep orangeish/pale amber colour with a big white foamy head. Aroma is tropical fruits, some zest, floral notes as well as some caramel and mild spicyness. Flavour is tropical fruit juice, some caramel, mild yeast and a bit resiny and sprucelike notes in the finish. Nice IPA, without overdoing it.
