Cask@Island Queen, London. Coppery colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is wheat, fruits, some mild notes of herbs as well. Flavour is mainly wheat and fruits, but has some slight herbs and wood as well.

Cask conditioned handpump Southwark Tavern London. A dark gold coloured beer with a loose white head. A really authentic hefeweizen with banana and clove notes throughout. Very wheaty in the mouth with a fuller body than with these beers brewed in Germany. A really decent well brewed beer. Knocks seven tons out of the poor Kolsch

A Sim rate (cask at the Ranelagh): So, I’m the first rater, eh? I wasn’t even supposed to be drinking today except I (like an idiot) left my keys at work so I’m sitting in the pub waiting for Mes to fetch me so I can go home. It’s quite a nice beer. Aroma is very citric and wheaty. It’s both lime and grapefruit with a delicate sweetness. The flavour is soft but tangy with a wheaty kick in the finish. I keep sucking my gums to taste the wheatiness which can only be a good sign. I expected less, but got a very tasty after work tipple. Enjoyed it!
