Pours a clear golden color, topped with a fairly decent white frothy head. A mild fruity aroma, some wheaty notes also here. A sweet and fruity beginning is followed by a mild bitterness and some spices in the finish. Very enjoyable, although I’m not a fan of wheat beers. Nice

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma, lemon notes, malty background with lemon biscuit notes. Taste is citrusy hoppy, notes of lemon and lemon biscuit, wheaty and minimally grainy notes flashing up in between, a strawy and grassy touch. Light bodied, close to watery, Golden/Wheat Ale border crosser.

500ml bottle from B&M. Pours black with decent off-white head. Lovely bitter choc aroma with smoked malts, coffee and cigarette ash in the taste. Mouthfeel’s a bit thin but like their other beers it’s a little quirky and different.

Black, ruby edges, frothy tan head, good lacing
Aroma of savoury malts, soft light smoke, roasted malts, earthy malts, some yeast, complex smoke roast aroma for abv, bit spicy
Taste of dark malts, nice soft roast, savoury malts, touch of stilton(!), dark sweet malts, slightly earthy, the peat works in here, subtle smoke, yummy beer
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, perhaps a little thin, dark sweet malts, light bitter smoke roast. Finish of dark malts, savoury roast malt finish
Overall - Apart from it being a bit thin, it’s an excellent soft smoky porter, really tasty beer

Golden, slight haze, frothy big white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft pale malts, soft cereal, soft fruits
Taste of pale soft sweet malts, soft sweet fruits, touch of apricot, slightly spicy, some caramel, dab of soft cereal, could do with a bit more hops but flavour is decent but mellow
Palate - soft carb, medium body, good palate. Finish of soft fruits, some dry bitter cereal
Overall - Easy going, soft and mellow. Comes across as good golden ale with a dab of wheat rather than a wheat beer. A lot better than the rates here would suggest
