Tasted as O’Hanlon’s Double Champion Wheat Beer in order to show off its two medals, golden ale with wheat malt and creamy, dense, yellowish white head over a warm peach blonde colour, hazy with nice sparkling. Sweet and wheaty aroma with earthy, peppery hops, nutmeg, pumpkin, mango, cheese, pine resin, soap, chamomille. Fresh, vividly fruity onset with medium strong carbonation, dry background, bit grainy with sourish wheat malt, hoppy finish, resinous, spicy, honeyish and long. Very elegant, delicate and thirst-quenching ale, I enjoyed this a lot.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Lightly hazy yellow golden color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly bitter, buttery, a weird touch of fruit. Low body, low to average carbonation. Meh.

Bottle from 2008. Looks really good. Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Intense malty aroma with a smokey touch. Starts quite strong, not too malty, light alcoholic burning notes. More and more earthy malty. Finish warming malty, less alcoholic. Nice one!
