Commercial Description:
Our Harvest Dance Wheat Wine is a celebration of John Barleycorn’s cousin wheat, the great staple crop of Middle America. Wheat wines are a somewhat recent stylistic development, akin to barleywines in strength, but brewed with a large portion of wheat malt, which provides a soft mouthfeel to balance the big body of these warming brews. We add a generous helping of Hallertau and Citra hops, and age the beer on both French and American oak, resulting in a beer that opens up with a warming burst of tropical fruit flavors, adding subtle Sauvignon Blanc notes before rounding slowly to a dry, oaky finish. This is a perfect beer for sharing with friends and family as we gather together for the fall and winter holidays. Pairs well with aged cheeses or seasonal squash and pumpkin dishes.

750, corked and baled. Thanks Tyto! Pours a crystal clear golden medium amber with tons of nucleation and a dense, eggy platinum blond head. Lots and lots of webby lace pocked around the glass after the head falls--it really towers up off the pour. Pleasant nose of hay and grass with light lemon brightening it. Rich breadiness with light wheat tang over all that. Creamy medium body with bright and lively carb showing everywhere. Brown bread, wheat tang, hay, grass, and a bit of lemony tartness on the mid palate. Mild finish. Quite good.

Brownish pour, light tan head. Caramel, honey and light hops in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and a bit hoppy...honey, caramel, citrus hops. Nice beer.

Bottle thanks to mar. The look is a big foamy white head and orange in color. The smell is wheat, fruits, malts, banana, and citrus. The taste is sweet, alcohol, malts, citrus, and fruits.

Pours a fiery reddish orange into the glass with bright highlights and a rocky white head. Aroma is a sweet wheat malt with a floral hop character that beckons for a taste. Flavor is a delicate sweetness that coats the mouth in a non cloying way. Instead the body is velvety. The hallertau and citra hops add a nice bitterness to the beer but do not take away from the malt. Boozy, but rightly so. Warming and ready to open up as it sits. I don’t get much upfront oak character, though I’m sure it has rounded out this beer as opposed to straight stainless.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a huge white head. Aroma is nice with some peaches and candi sugar. Some lingering hops make and appearance as well. Flavor is stellar. At first i get some oak and and wine. Then comes a nice citrus hop followed by a bit of dark fruit. Alcohol is no problem as this is a very easy to drink beer. Another good one from the Boulvard smokestack series.

Bottle from somewhere in OKC. Glowing amber color/ rocky beige head; nice pour. Spicy cinnamon, cedar wood, toasted caramel aromas. Rich smooth mouthfeel. Nice malty flavors of caramel, spices, pils malt, tart pale wheat, dry wood. very good.

Bottle thanks to ksbeerkid, sampled on 1/10/10: Pours a slightly hazy amber bronze with an airy froth of off-white head. Aroma of fresh herbal hops and sweet malty wheat with a peppery clove character. Starts with pretty good fullness and semi-sweet caramel maltiness with some floral grassy hop character and lemon citrus zest before a drier, warming, mildly buttery finish. A pretty unique brew, but could use some aging.

Orange body with an absurd large bubbled white head. Particalia quite apparent as well. Once the dense head settles down, there is quite a refreshing aroma, with similarities to a dry belgian ale. Quite yeasty, with some tart lemon and apricot scents, as well as caramel malts beneath. Flavor is warming, not as rough as many in this style. Quite drinkable. Good, albeit slightly undercarbonated.
