Bottle from LCB, still in date by 4 months. A slight gusher - needed new trousers. The hazards of beer rating. Clear bright gold with white head, decent lacing but a point off for wet patches. Aroma has a biscuit and grain noted malt with a flora and citrus. Taste has that pale malt but has a drying bitter soapy-floral quality which I didn't find that tasty. Medium bodied, slightly cloying. Not great at all.

Cask at Black Lion, Nantwich (now at 3.4%). Pours golden yellow with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops, grains and pine. In the mouth it is juicy and quite bitter with floral hops, citrus and lemon. Hints of grapefruit and honey come through later. Bitterness lasts into the slightly sticky finish. This is decidedly reasonable – plenty of flavour for its strength.

Amber colour with thin soapy head. Perhaps not at its best but generally a bit weak and wishy washy. Grassy. Slightly bitter.

Cask at Black Lion, Nantwich. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a medium sized foamy off-white head, and is slow to settle. There’s banana and cloves in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with bananas, floral hops and orange peel. Later on there are hints of ginger and lime leading to a fruity and slightly sweet finish. I don’t normally go for wheat ales, but this one is rather nice.
