Cask at Bohemian, Deal, Kent. I kind of agree with Gazza in that English wheat beers just do not bear any relation to their continental cousins. However, I don’t have a problem with that as the citrus fruit and american hops in this hit all of the right buttons for me. Simply gorgeous.

Sampled cask conditioned. Pale yellow. Vanilla and citrus aroma. Light bodied, rather sweet with orangey finish. Very refreshing. Seems like they have something similar to summer in Scotland too...

Looks more like an English pale ale than a wheat beer. The aroma reminds me of straw, but overall the the beers aroma comes across as very fresh. The flavour is bitter and lightly citric with slight sour notes. A different wheat beer style, not as good as the Belgian or German wheat beers by any means, but reasonable.

Aromas are both sweet and sour. This gold-yellow beer is typical of an English wheat and NOT a Belgian Wit. This is more like a standard bitter with more sourness. Still a decent beer but why not have an English Wheat? Its a separate style.

Cask Handpump at the Star Inn, Huddersfield 11/03/2006 Golden coloured with fruit and floral aromas. Very fruity bubble gum flavour. Bitter and slightly dry on the palate in the finish.
