COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The long range forecast is for persistent showers of malted wheat with perhaps a light sprinkling of Worcestershire Hop later on. Temperatures will be on the cool and refreshing side. "It's brolly good" and gone before you know it - just like an English summer! (July/August)

Cask Stillage at the Old Broken Cross, Rudheath 11/07/2002 Amber golden coloured and slightly creamy on the palate. Pale aroma. Some bitterness in a lasting finish.

Ungstrup (30994) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - DEC 27, 2005
[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2005] A hazy plale amber beer with a nice light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty and lightly hoppy, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, honey, and bees wax.

imdownthepub (11738) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 19, 2003
Cask Conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Charlbury, Oxon. Red brown beer with no head. Wishy washy flavours, a richness in malt perhaps but nothing that distinguishes it. Astringent finish.

eczematic (1323) - Adelaide, AUSTRALIA - AUG 20, 2002
slightly disappointing compared to the other brakspears. kind of like a dunkelweizen raping a bitter. clear copper colourwise. light texture, and dry finish, with a strong (for a wheat) fruity hop flavour.

Good bitter, perhaps a bit full bodied for the season.
