Made with hand selected, traditionally prepared, floor-malted riband wheat from the rolling chalk downs of Wiltshire, O'Hanlon's Wheat Beer is deliciously citrus-tinted with a hint of spice. It rapidly establishes itself as a firm favourite with drinkers wherever it is introduced. O'Hanlon's Wheat Beer has received wide acclaim as an outstanding excmple of the British style of wheat beer, which can be served clear or cloudy, as preferred. Freshness and fragrance come first to the palate, followed by the distinctive citrus crackle that stays crisp and tangy down to the last drop.

"Well, I guess I let this one sit too long in the fridge ... best before March 31 and here it's September. It is still drinkable, but it has lost a lot of the wheat beer character ... it tastes like a fairly decent, slightly mild English ale with a bit of extra hops in the finish. I'll haveto try it fresh and see what it tastes like."

"first British made wheat for me...this was a hazed gold with a large airy head. A sweeter sappy aroma. Flavor had a lot of rich wheat and grains; tasty, fairly complex. Some grass and citrus. Slightly sweet with some bitterness there for good balance. Fresh taste, crisp and a bit dry. lots of sediment...better than expected even past its due date"

[3] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/20/2006 1:28:51 PM)
"Best before May 2006, the poured a colour rather darker than most other wheat beers I've had and was a bit on the hazy side as well. The head was substantial, foamy and white. Aroma was of grass and also was tart. Taste was sharp and bitter for a wheat, but sweetened up in the aftertaste. Quite a different wheat beer than I'm used to; liked it!"

[4] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/12/2005 10:42:09 PM)
"Bottle. Poured a golden, murky color with a thick white head. Plenty of lacing. Aroma of banana, similar to a hefeweizen. Tastes like a hefeweizen, although not as strong. I don't think this tastes like an American Wheat at all. Much more of a hefe. Decent."

[5] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (1/24/2005 12:34:03 AM)
"A dark golden color with a moderate white head. A very lemony aroma and not much else. The flavor continues with the lemons, possibly overkill, with some wheat mixed in there. Pretty standard to this standard style."
