Cask at the Brunswick, Derby. Slightly hazy gold with a thin white head; citrus aroma; citrus flavour combined with a wheaty body; sweet and acidic finish.

Cask, gravity at various BFs and handpump, Brunswick, Derby. It’s not the ’Traditional Bavarian style’ that the Brunnie market it as, it’s not a golden ale as maeib suggests, it’s yet another midlander-weiss that aims to be light on the wheat and succeeds. Sadly, it just feels like a washy blonde. Too subtle. Thin orange peel once washed over, looks dead in the glass. Please, Graham - brew a balls-to-the-wall weiss istead of this torpored muck.

No head and no gas makes one of the poorest "weiss" beers I’ve ever tasted

Cask conditioned - handpump - Brunswick, Derby. Not wheaty enough to qualify as a Wheat Ale. Slightly hazy golden with some orange fruity notes in both the nose and mouth. Sweet and wheaty notes too, but these are subdued. Pretty average throughout.
