Commercial Description:
Pale and refreshingly tart.Telegraph Golden Wheat is a complex ale that embodies the best of traditional,unfiltered wheat beers.With aromas of fresh citrus and delicate spices,this beer should be savored with lighter fare such as seafood or grilled chicken.And skip the slice of lemon...this is a wheat ale with a flavor that stands up on its own!

Cloudy yellow, moderate head with some lacing and retention. Aroma is fairly tart, even for the style. Wheat, light citrus, some grass and pale malts. Lighter bodied, fairly tart. Nothing really wrong with it, just you know... meh?

Picture sent in. Bottled on March 27, 2008. Pours with a huge, frothy white head covering a cloudy yellow body. Aroma of berries, lemon, clove, wheat and honey. Taste is completely without any sweetness. Some citrus, wheat and bready malts. Highly overcarbonated fizziness. Dry mouthfeel. Feels unbalanced and dry.

On tap at Hamiltons. Yellow with a creamy white head. Sweet malty wheat bread aroma and taste. Decent.

Bottle... Clear, light yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. The funky, breadsy nose offers notes of leather and barnyard with pear and banana esters alongside a light clove phenol. Almost medium-bodied with lazy carbonation. Moderately tart and very decently bittered. Mild sweetness with notes of citrus and biscuit. Crisp, tangy, wonderfully refreshing finish.

Draught at the brewery. Clear dark gold with a big white head. Tart aroma with lots of fresh citrus. The flavor is refreshing and tart with white wine-like character. A little spice and hop bitterness, but subtle. Not as much character as their other beers, but quite nice and refreshing for a wheat ale.
