500ml Bottle (bottle conditioned) poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass just to see what it would look like in it! BBD end of May 2013, opened at home on 30 Apr 2013.
To be fair it looked fine: hazy golden body with a huge head, carbonisation bubbles rising through the misty brew. No sediment left the bottle, latter I poured those into the remains of the initial pour, it obviously became more cloudy and tastier.
Grain and yeast notes in the aroma.
Crisp and refreshing in the grainy taste, I did expect a bit more flavour to be honest, no obvious wheat beer atributes at first, apart from the look. It claims to have corriander and lemon zest within the brew, as it warmed a little hints of those characteristics but in no great depth, until the sediment was added to the glass, only then did 'take off', it was like two different beers.
Pleasant enough, but lacks adventure and 'umph' to be a great example of a UK brewed wheat beer. I'll certainly have a cask version if I see one again: it wasn't ready for sale on the only time I've come across it on draught.
My scores are for the initial pour, with consideration of the sediment strength!
