Apr 8, 2006 Bottle: Hazy orange, moderate frothy off-white head, spotty lacing, no noticeable carbonation. Bright wheat aroma, seems tart, slight powered sugar tinge as well as citrus rind. Bright wheat on the tongue, slight alcohol, very warming. Moderate body, thick mouthfeel. Seems like a robust Wheat Wine, but unfortunately the alcohol seems to show through a bit too much. Hot finish, sharp citrus rind, very warming. Like an American Wheat but spiked with jet fuel. Lots went into this one, but still seems not all that complicated. Still fairly decent, clean at least. Thanks Cap’n for the bottle!

Apr 4, 2006 Pours a nice brownish golden color with lots of carbonation. Lots of banana esters and wheat malt on the aroma. Taste is of banana , wheat, alcohol and a bit of astringency. Very full mouthfeel. With the ABV I would have expected this to be more complex that 2-8, but it doesn’t seem that way. A nice wheatwine though, and a nice beer. All of the Bell’s wheats have been enjoyable and this is a pleasant finale to the project.

Apr 2, 2006 Bottle. Aroma, wheat and orange peel. Poured a hazen orangish amber hue with a thin white head. Flavor was tasty somewhat citric wheat and yeastinest. Palate was creamy but finish was dry.

Apr 1, 2006 Really pretty stuff, glowing translucent dusty orange. Nose has oodles of clove, very redolent and floral. Light spiciness, a bit of fruit. Initial impression upon sipping is the thickness of the palate, rich and a mite overly syrupy, very thick stuff. Clove flavors strong and the Belgian yeast is very noticeable. Bit dry and somewhat chemical at the end.

Mar 29, 2006 Thanks to Crizay for providing this one. Poured a cloudy orange color that reminded me of a mango. Aroma was mandarin oranges. Flavor was sweet yeast and spices. Smooth malts complete the body. Not like most barley wines I have had.
