Keg at Lovibonds brewery tap, 1st November 13. Very nice clean Wheat beer, did not get too much thai spice. Enjoyed this one, but would prefer it in the sun

Draft at BrewDog Camden on 19 October. Poured a hazy golden colour with a thick white head and good lacing. Aroma of cloves, yeast and citrus. Soft fruit flavours with lemon zest, esters and wheat. Finishes with dry grain, grassy hops and orange peal. Probably the least adventurous of these BrewDog bar collaborations, but a solid, tasty wheat ale.

[10/5/13] Bottle shared by tdtm82 at the Kernel brewery in London. Thanks Thomas! Bottle #157/500. Dark brown-colored. Aroma of wood, malt, some sourness, lots of dark fruits and whiskey notes. Sourish flavor, a bit sweetish, woody, with dark fruits, malt, caramel a bit of fun, a bit of chocolate, a light roasty note and a dry and slightly astringent finish. Medium to full-bodied. Nice stuff.

[10/4/13] Bottle sample at a tasting at chriso’s place. Clear golden. Nice funky aroma with oak, some barnyard, lemony notes and a pleasant fruitiness. Sourish flavor of fresh fruits, some funk and a light lemony edge. Rather light-bodied. Lovely and easy-drinking.

Tap at BrewDog Shoreditch. It pours clear pale gold with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, fruity, orange, lime, dough and cardomom. The taste is crisp bitterness, lemongrass, grass, ginger, hay, dough and wheat with a dry, citric finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fresh, tasty and well-balanced. Nice work. Very drinkable.
