Cask Handpump at the Pot Of Beer, Manchester 16/08/2003 Light golden coloured and slightly cloudy in appearance. Spicy aromas. Malty lasting finish.

Clear Bottle from Green Welly Stop, Tyndrum. Bottle conditioned. Hazy, not cloudy, despite yeast swirl. Orange hop/yeast/mild spice (coriander? may be suggestion?). Went down quickly! Good finish with a little more hop than is usual for the style - NB states ’cloudy wheat beer’ on the bottle.

Bottle conditioned. Hazy orange gold, thin but lasting white head and gentle condition. Initial citric grapefruit aroma with a touch of grainy wheatiness developing. Thin and tangy in the mouth with some fruity malt and a powdery mouthfeel. Finish is chalky dry with lingering grapefruit notes.

Amber with a small off-white head. Aromas are butter, spice and sulphur. Flavours are fruity with sulphur and butter. Very easy to drink - not bad at all.
