Winter Wheat - ABV: 6%
I've long been a fan of wheat beers, and having to occasionally visit Germany with work, I look forward to enjoying the odd pint of weisse while I'm there. However, it's always been difficult finding a decent one at home.
Enter Manchester's Cloudwater Brew Co. who specialise in creating modern, seasonal beers.
Brewed using wheat malt, Europils smoked, light Munich and Carafa Special Type 3 malts, along with Perle hops, they have produced one of the most authentically German wheat beers I've found in the UK.

Winter Wheat is highly effervescent, really well balanced with a flavour that is lightly bitter, with a warm smokiness and subtle banana... Delicious.!!
I'm back in Germany in March and this has whet my appetite to try more home-grown hefeweizen.
Verdict: 4.5/5
