May 27, 2004 I don’t ordinarily like Shaftebury, but this was okay. Pale golden colour with a faint chill-hazed appearance and a disappearing white head. Pale malty aroma, light floral hoppiness and some bready yeastiness. Flavour is actually pretty good, decent amount of malt and a clean finish. A fairly quaffable summer beer.

Apr 28, 2004 Yellow with hints of honey, wow, please don’t amaze me. I guess it would be Ok in the summer, but I can think of a few more hefes I would rather drink.

does not count  Oct 13, 2003 Not bad...poured a golden yellow, but the head went south quickly. I agree with Tipsy McStager on this one...very weak palate. Mind you, it IS wet, it IS beer, and it ISN'T American!

Jun 9, 2003 stinky, foul aroma. Pours a golden yellow, carbonation high, head mid range. This kind of tastes like a fruit beer, except all the fruit is rotten. Very weak palate and unusual aftertaste. Shaftebury is a brewery you want to avoid except for their cream ale.

Apr 16, 2003 Golden amber body with a small off white head. Aroma was lightly malty and little else. Taste was sweet but thin. Finish was spicy and not really enjoyable.
