Supplier: Beer52
Another from the experimental subsidiary of the Mordue Brewery; this time in a collaboration with Beer52 (like Mambo Jambo and Quintet). This is what they describe as a "New World Wheat Beer", which is a wheat beer that has been dry hopped with Equinox, El Dorado, and Citra hops.

Appearance: Only slightly opaque, much clearer than you would expect a wheat beer. The colour is pale straw with a hint of gold; and the head is medium thickness, pure white, and last for ages.
Aroma: Quite bready, with hints of spices and a little corn in the background.
Flavour: Not much of the traditional wheat on the flavour as it is dominated grassy hops and tropical fruit notes.
Body: Medium body, but with too much carbonation. There is also an almost floury texture that goes quite well with this.
Aftertaste: This is where you can tell it is a wheat beer as you get that distinct wheat malt background, however it get dominated by an unpleasant grassy hop notes.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, quite unique and a good idea, but not done too well in my opinion with the hops letting it down.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 for £14, so £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; I wouldn't rush out to buy it but, at this price, I wouldn't mind it.
Food Pairings: It's hard to pair as it has both soft and dominant qualities, thus I'm going to cop out and pin it to something simple like a moderately salty portion of fish and chips.
