Cask-conditioned at the White Lion, Bristol, 20/8/07. Pale amber, with a decent, lacy white head. Aroma of floral hops with a touch of orange sweetness. Flavour started malty before a decent hoppy finish. Slightly grainy mouth feel. Good.

Clear gold with huge, off-white head, very finely lacing. VERY nice nose with hops, lunaria , kafir leaf, wheat and grain sheaf, hay. Again a very fresh, hoppy (my guess are the NZL hops...); just bitter main taste, perfumey, and a soft, mineral water with sweetness and some salt. Light bodied, but nowhere empty - mineral water quality. Definitely one of the BEST wheatbeers I’ve ever tasted.

Very clear golden brew, well-carbonated, with just off-white head. Toasted, or pre-sliced bread; warm malts, then fresh garden herbs and lunaria . In the taste, first a dull, sweet impression, alleviated by some grassy hopsflavour, but qutie subdued, a bit dull after all. Toasted again too. Medium bodied, ending a bit empty. Okells must be the only brewery in my knowledge, managing to make a wheatbeer that is more interesting than their IPA!

Gravity dispense at the Miners’ Arms Summer Beer Festival, St Werburghs Bristol 6/8/07. Golden colour with a minimal head. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of spicy hops. Flavour started sweet with a grassy hop finish. Not bad.
