Keg at the Cambridge Blue. Gold, clear with almost no head. The aroma is indeed very enticing. Kaffir lime leaves, some juniper from the gin, lemon peel. Taste is a bit bitter, sour and medicinal. The promise of the aroma fizzles out a bit, and I’m left with a fairly workaday beer. Heavy carbonation, which hides the thin body. It works, but not as well as I’d like. Not really getting any wheat beer vibes. A bit of a forgettable beer.

Cask-conditioned at Bristol Beer Festival, 24/3/2017. Near black in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Sweetish, chocolate notes, some toasty malts, leafy hops and moderately dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Ostrich, Peterborough. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a round bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light watery grainy malt, floral light citrus hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Drunk in the Pint Shop, Oxford. It’s gold, with a tiny haze and a big white head which quickly dissipates. Aroma is caramel, malty grain, some honey and freshly baked bread. Tastes slightly sour with a lemony sour aftertaste. Palate a sourness of raw grain and leaves with a sourness of raw grain. Every sip is slightly different but it isn’t great. Not ideal but reasonable. I’ve had worse Kölsches but better Nene Valleys...

Keg at The Pint Shop, Oxford, Saturday 4th March 2017 in the company of John, Ian and Glen. Pours gold with a white head, not that bothered about this one, it’s fruity but weirdly it’s sour, not my thing at all. A6 A3 T5 P3 Ov10 2.8
