a swift one - Beer of The Day - Hawkshead - Great White

Visit the a swift one site

After yesterday's trip down the dark side, today takes us to the other end of the spectrum with a wheat beer. Hawkshead 'Great White' is not just a wheat beer, it is a British (sorry, Cumbrian) take on a typical foreign wheat beer.

'Great White' is 4.8%, and has a decent body - mainly from the Maris Otter malt used - and with the hints of orange and coriander does sound little like a foreign wheat beer we have encountered before but the New Zealand Motueka hops gives it a different twist.

If you want to sample it it is currently on the bar in the Grove
