Cask@GBBF2009. Hazy yellowish golden colour with small white head. Aroma is fruity hops along with some lemon and mild herbal notes. Flavour is quite much the same. I don’t find that much wheat in it, but if there was it would probably be a quite good belgian wit, since the rest of the elements are there...

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, grassy and also has some floral hops. Flavour is quite much the same with the focus on the grass. Not very exciting.
