Bocq, Brasserie du, Applebocq (Belgium) 
This for me is an entirely successful flavoured beer, which is not something I can say about many examples of this style. It is a live wheat beer, very subtley flavoured and sweetened with apple juice, that pours a cloudy yellow with a high-rise white head. The nose blends clove and spicy notes with with some sour lemon and a lovely apple fruit character. On the palate it is quiet full-bodied and creamy, and the spicy wheat beer character comes through, with just that subtle, tart, green apple flavour and a pinch of sweetness that is nicely balanced by fresh, citrussy acidity. 3.1% ABV, 33cl, �1.39, Sainsbury's.  |  |
