I've just noticed this in a few shops.

Has anyone tried this? How different is it to their norml crystal?
 
one its "wheat"not barley
Wheat and rye are huskless, so they have no burnt husks, and therefore greatly reduced bitterness,[SIZE=small]wheat crystal has a sweet taste, with caramel, toffee flavours.[/SIZE]
 
Sorry, I should have been more specific.

Toffee and caramel are descriptors which could be applied to most crystal malts. Simpsons crystal oats have been described as having a sweet berry-nut flavor, which is not what I would have expected from crystal oats.
I'm wondering if this malt has a similarly unique flavor that I wouldn't expect.
