2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 JFURYCAT (1007) - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 19, 2005
As an American who regularly visits the UK, it was nice coming across a wheat beer which reminds me of the wheat beers I have back in PA. It does seem a bit too carbonated but it has nice sweet flavor too it. It is a very tasty sweet beer but nothing spectacular. It would do well in the US if it wasn’t so fizzy.

[Keg at The Evening Star, Brighton] A yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is slightly wheaty. The flavor is sweet spicy with notes of citrus, hints of wheat, and loads of hops in the end, which is dry.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 SilkTork (4736) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - JAN 28, 2005
Carbonated keg. Evening Star, Brighton - with joet. Big carbonation. Too big - an invasive and nasty bubble rush. Tonic water bitterness at the back. Honey sweetness on the lips. Vomit aroma. Yeast infection colour. A bad experience which I wouldn’t want to repeat - and my first poor Dark Star beer.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 9, 2004
Tap@The Evening Star, Brighton. Pretty bland for a witbier, only a slight suggestion of coriander and a slight lemon tang, reminded me of a few of the blander microbrewed wits/wheats i had in the states, this was pretty boring.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Spiesy (2336) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - JUL 4, 2004
Keg, at the Evening Star, Brighton. Pale golden, larger looking really. Has a persistent fizz that annoys really, given the selection of other beers. Not cloudy, no bubble gum. Nothing, fizzy, bright larger. [After the annual cricket match, Wenlock Arms v Evening Star]
