On tap at the glenavon pub in Tomintoul. Aroma is slightly sour malt, earthy hops. Flavour is malty, not very sweet, slightly acidic, citrus, pine, herbal hops. Quite enjoyed this! The slightly acidic malt makes this quite interesting.

Malt and caramel aroma, with some dark fruits. Taste is similar with a good amount of caramelised malt, a bit roasted, bitterness, with dark fruits and nuts taste. Sweet but dry finish.

500ml bottle into pint glass. At The Red Lion, Glencoe. Golden beer with a large foamy white head. Very slight haze, very light carbonation. Strong malty nose, some grain. Patchy lacing, very easy drinking. Taste is malty, finish is fruit toast. Very refreshing but a needs a bit more body.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is bananas and spices. In the mouth it is sweet with flavours of bubble gum, cherries, cloves and coriander. This is decent – has more wheat characteristics than a lot of wheat ales, but still not in the category of a Belgian wit.
