Tasted by half-pint at the Baxter's Court, a JDW pub in Hackney, North London.
A: (pale) amber hue, a thin foam dissipates fast, on top of a low carbonated body; looking unlike any kind of wheat beer at all...
S: a sour-salty-sweet yeasty aroma abounds, while a lease of pear juice, perry, and green apple-peel like fruity note plays the main role on the nose. Not bad, though slightly ill-structured and blurred.
T: sour-sweet yeasty flavour upfront (as in many wheat beers, it's a bit like Yakult~~); savoury, pear-ish and a lighter-than-pale-malt flavour develops at the back, quickly leading to a smooth but lingering bitter and tangy aftertaste, with a tannic touch and light-bodied wheatish feel in the end.
M&D: light, smooth, and refreshing on the mouthfeel. This beer is quite easy-drinking, with certain resemblance with Belgian or French witbier, but much more simplistic it is. O.K. performance.
