[cask at the Dalriada, Edinburgh] Pours dark gold and reasonably clear. Aromas of hops and malt, with some yeast on the background. Flavour only slightly wheaty but with some mild hop and malt characters. For a wheat ale, more Ale than Wheat [01062009]

Cask, Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Burnished orange appearance and crystal clear, which disappointed me a bit - I like my wheat beers to look the part!! Hint of dryness and cloves, with a papery aroma. Some fruit in the aftertaste. Might have been a bit better if served a touch cooler.

Cask @ HAF09. Dark golden colour. Aroma of flowery hops. Flavour has sweet malts and hops.

Draft at Guildford. Poured an amber, not really wheat except for the bit of citrusy sweetness with it. Interesting if not exactly awesome.

Cask at Guilford edinburgh ... light hazy amber ... light and fruity nose ... light hop no real wheat charcater ... but tasty and drinkable
