First let me qualify this review by saying I don’t generally like Wheat Beers. I also don’t generally enjoy Organic ales.

Hebden’s Wheat (silver bottle top) headlines as fresh, fruity and naturally hazy.

Bottle notes say: “… the bottle is a Belgian style Wheat beer. The beer is light in colour with aromas of coriander and lemon. It is cloudy with a refreshing classic finish. The draught beer won the coveted CAMRA Sliver Speciality Beer award in 2007.”

Because it is bottle conditioned – you can either pour 90% of it in the glass and dump the sediment – or as they recommend, you can swirl the sediment into the glass too.

This ale is Organic (like all their ales) and is Vegan friendly – and it has the CAMRA badge of love!

Now I don’t like my bottles cold – so I poured mine and left it for a while to warm up and de-gas.

My Verdict: This is a lovely bottle. Very refreshing indeed – a hint of citrus and very drinkable. I am very impressed that it lives up to it’s bottle notes. I think I was wise to try this one first as I don’t think the delicate flavours would have made it through after a stout and a bitter.

I really like this. It’s one of the best bottles I’ve had for a long time. Let’s hope the other 5 live up to this one.

My only disappointment? I only have one bottle. Rest assured I will buy this once I can find a supplier.

Using the Booze on the Ouse scale of 1-5 I’d give this a high 4’s.
