On tap @ Teuchters, Edinburgh. Appearance - dark side of golden. Nose - some toffee but more of a malt to biscuit finish. Taste - toffee and pine. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - solid cask ale. Whoever loaded this onto Ratebeer has made the fine observation that this is a Premium Bitter rather than the IPA that is in its title.

Aroma: Grain, grass, slightly floral and just a tad metallic.
Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin white head. Light carbonation. Nice lacing.
Taste: Grass and sour citrus. Very dry.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation.
Overall: I’m not sure why this is listed as a Bitter - it’s a Golden Ale. Grassy and sour. Not bad but I wouldn’t want to drink more than one.

Cask at JDW Briar Rose; Light golden amber pour with foamy white head, buttery aroma, detect butterscotch with some fruitiness trying to escape, diacetyl is it intentional.

500ml Bottle: BBD 28th July 2013. Poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass at home on 23rd July 2013. Underwhelmed by this to be honest. Looked OK, golden, almost clear (it is now a crystal wheat beer according to the front label): good deep foaming white crown on top with plenty of carbonisation bubbles rising through the body. Hardly any aroma (certainly no banana/clove or vanilla smells) like I hoped for. Mini grain notes in the nose otherwise very little of anything. The taste was also a let down: very bland and boring. Hints of grain flavours (wheat and corn), they must have forgotten to add the orange peel and coriander to my brew kettle because there was no indication they were there. Refreshing enough: but so is water!
