Hand pulled at the Briar Rose, Birmingham. Looks rubbish: flat, pale. Slight hint of chalk and lemon on a biscuit sweet malt wall. Smooth mouthfeel. A bit dull, but not terrible. OK.

Cask at the WIllow Walk (JDW), Victoria. Hazy straw with a loose white head; and a lemon aroma; light refreshing citrus flavour with a wheaty body, but lacking the density and intensity of a true Witbier; the finish is toasty, missing any sign of spice.

The Felix, Nuneaton. Pale gold with a level white top. Faint grass and tupperware aroma. Clean lemon and grassy notes, ginger maybe.. Biscuit finish with a rub of orange soapiness. Basic and a bit watery but pleasant. Nothing like a witbier.
