			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cotswold Wheat Beer was another beer that was sent to me by <a title="Real ale reviews on twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/realalereviews" target="_blank">@realalereviews</a> as part of the  <a title="Beer swap" href="http://www.beerreviews.co.uk/beer/category/beer-festivals-and-events/beer-swap/" target="_blank">Beer Swap</a> test parcel, (which also included <a title="Hooky Gold" href="http://www.beerreviews.co.uk/beer/beer-swap-test-beer-1-hook-norton-hooky-gold-4-2/" target="_blank">Hook Norton Hooky Gold</a> and <a title="Hook Norton Haymaker" href="http://www.beerreviews.co.uk/beer/beer-swap-test-beer-2-hook-norton-%E2%80%93-haymaker-5/" target="_blank">Hook Norton Haymaker</a>) and was from a brewery I hadn&#8217;t heard of before so I went straight to their <a title="Cotswold brewing" href="http://www.cotswoldbrewingcompany.com/lager.html" target="_blank">website</a>.</p>
<p>According to their site:</p>
<blockquote><p>Modelled on the famous Weisse Beer made by our German cousins this Frau can be a little fruity. She&#8217;s blonde (of course) because, as is traditional with Weisse Beer, she&#8217;s unfiltered and her fruity flavour comes from a special mix of malted wheat, barley and hops &#8211; a recipe that we keep very close to our chests. Ideally suited to sunny days you&#8217;ll find her refreshing, flavoursome and full bodied &#8211; listen out for outbreaks of yodelling across the Cotswolds this summer.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2783/4151384944_012fc0cea3_b.jpg"><img class="alignright" title="Cotswold Wheat Beer" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2783/4151384944_012fc0cea3.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="500" /></a>Despite it being a rather chilly -3 outside I thought I would crack open the bottle and see if it could bring back a bit of summer. It opened with a huge hiss, suggesting the beer was going to be quite lively so I gave it a few seconds before pouring it, The aromas were nice and light (and certainly summery) there was wheat, yeast with a little bit of hops and clove and citrus, The beer was a lovely pale yellow and had the usual wheat beer haze.  The head was quite thin but lasted well down the glass.</p>
<p>The beer certainly tasted like a wheat beer but unlike many of them it was very drinkable, light and fruity with a hint of spice&#8230;cinnamon and clove and maybe some nutmeg. It is certainly a summery beer and I could imagine being sat on a hillside in the summer, supping this after a hard days walking.</p>
<p>Looking around the Cotswold Brewing website I noticed they seem to specialise in lagers, everything form light lager to a rather strong winter lager, I shall certainly be ordering some of those come summer time because if they are as tasty as the Cotswold Wheat Beer then I will be more than happy.</p>
<p>So yet another thanks goes out to <a title="Real ale reviews on twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com/realalereviews" target="_blank">@realalereviews</a> for opening my eyes up to a new brewery.</p>
