Belhaven Wheat Beer

Bottled from the Greene Kiing brewery shop. Aparently they brew it there now too. Funny colour for a wheat. Hazy golden copper with little head. They must use a weissen yeast with this one cos it has those banana esters along with some peachy, orange notes too. A little thin. flavor has plenty honey and wheat. some lasting sweetness. the first taste was good but ultmately forgettable.

Bottled version. Dunno what to think, don’t look like a wheat beer, and only vaguely tastes of one. I might have enjoyed it better if it was labelled differently.

Well, was not really a Weiss Bier, and they never said so, but it was a little far from the fron flavor, the wheat.

This is a seriously strange beer. Starts with an aroma of cloves and peat, however changes to light fruityness, canceling out the peat, then later on back to peat, with cloves and little wheatyness all the way through. Taste starts harsh smokey peat, however changes as with the aroma to a far smother peaty fruitiness. Reminds me of a scotch ale in some ways, however maybe needs a little more refining.

[bottle from asda] pours an orangey yellow colour with a quickly diminishing head. The nose is fruity, some peach notes and a little citrus fruit, smells pretty industrialised though. body is a bit weak, sweet finish.
