Shaftebury Wet Coast Wheat Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

I'm not quite sure how to grade this one, it's a little different, and worthy of a tasting for sure. Decent gold colour, crystal clear - not any hint af haziness like the brewer claims, ok mini-bubbs for carbonation, almost no head after 5 mins, but it did produce a one finger foamy white cap and does leave tiny dots of lacing. Aroma is nothing special, but it seems to change a bit. honey, wheat and some other grainy stuff, sourness - nothing that makes you take notice. Taste is interesting: Noticable top of the mouth bitterness and sourness, some sweetness that I can not describe accurately, seems metallic but isn't (odd) and a late arriving background wheat that is pretty good. Check that: bitterness is very hard, but does not overpower the rest of the flavour. Light bodied, sort of smooth, but this bitter taste overcomes any smoothnesst and makes it seem prickly. Odd sweet and wheaty aftertaste. Drinkable, reviewable, but not consumable on a large scale. Go Oilers.
