Bottle from Oddbins, West Hampstead. Very active out of the bottle, took a lot of time to settle, and always with a thick frothy-bubbly head. It's smoking is light but pleasantly so, evident in both aroma and taste, but certainly more stated in the former. Hazy blonde with a heavy carbonation, too much so in my opinion. The wheat beer styling is decent enough.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at A&H. Rises from the bottle, slowly. Pours clear yellow, effervescent, with a billowing, frothy white head. Pleasant dry smoky notes in the nose, some biscuits, crisp wheat, lemon peel, dried ham. Light sweet flavour with some sugary pale bread, a little straw, smoked wood, some melon, meringue, dough. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with relaxed smoke, faint ash, more doughy wheat bread, some white sugar, ripening citrus, hints of banana, low bitterness. Nice one overall.
