Cask at the Liberty Belle, Ely. Pinkish tan, opaque bordering on muddy. Strawberry, a bit of funk, light dough. Taste is sweet/sour, lots of strawberry and yeast coming through. Light body. Very odd beer, not sure what it’s trying to be, but suitably refreshing in the hot weather.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours amber-brown with a huge, frothy tan head. The nose has light wintery spices and semi-dark malts. It has a lightly sweet but quite odd flavor, with notes of black currant, light rubber and...ketchup. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes awkwardly with spices, earth and toast. Not an out and out winner.

Bottle shared with AshtonMcCobb. Get to Norfolk Tasting. Gusher! Pours hazy amber with a massive white head. Aromas of yeast, banana and red fruit. Taste is light tangy fruit. Missing a middle in the palate. Too fizzy.

Bottle thanks to allymvinyl. Appearance - amber orange with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - yeast, not much else. Maybe some red fruits, maybe. Taste - light tang of strawberry over creamy wheat. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly dry finish. Overall - not terrible, but not great.
