Bells Wheat Love Ale

Purchased many, many cases from Bells Store. Hands down my favorite Bell’s product of all time. Just a perfect Weizenbock that was so delish.

For the love of wheat. This beer is a "wheat wine" by style, and it is an excellent example. The fifth, and final beer in the Bell’s Wheat . Wheat Love pours to a beautiful, hazy, deep golden, to burnt orange color, with a thick and creamy, white head, and a moderate, to soft carbonation. The nose on this beer is very inviting, with aromas of pale and wheat malts, paired with some estery fruit. The palate is slick and oily, on the tongue, with good pale and wheat malt flavors, with hints of estery banana, and pear. Wheat Love finishes with more good pale and wheat malt flavor up front, then ends with a peppery, soothing, mild alcohol burn that lingers. An excellent wheat wine, and an impressive beer, to end the Wheat Project with. Really a great thing Bell’s did here. I really enjoyed trying these beers, and Wheat Love Ale was and is a great beer.

Pours a very nice, mostly clear, pale golden color, with a thin dense head that fades very slowly to a spotty cap, leaving behind quite a bit more lace than I was expecting. Smell; there’s definitely a very solid wheat aroma in this, and some yeasty esters very reminiscent of a good hefe-weizen. There’s also a bit of a sweet fruitiness. Taste; as I noticed in the aroma this has some similar charactaristics of a hefe, but it also has a touch of trippel going on as well. There’s the wheat that’s expected, but also a little banana, and some tropical fruits. This is a very interesting beer, and I wish that Bell’s would make more of this, instead of just being a one-off release. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a moderate but smooth carbonation, with a bit of a drying finish. Drinkability is very good. I could happily have a few of these in one night if the alcohol would let me.

It has a dirty appearence, with flecks of brownish-white stuff floating around in its cloudy golden body. The smell is sweet and wheaty, akin to Fruity Pebbles. The flavor is dynamite; rich but thoroughly drinkable from start to finish.

12oz bottle; Yeast stands out as the aroma alnong with a banana like some Wits I’ve had. Couldy yellow body with good head. Head settled to a thin layer all through beer. Quality lacing. At first not much but the banana flavor. By the middle is a carmel texure to blend with the banana and seemed like a bubblegum at the finish. Banana aftertaste left on palate. Man this was good.

Smells and tastes much like a belgian tripel but darker and thicker. Sweet, hay, maple syrup with banana and butterscotch on the nose. Almost as good to smell as it is to taste. Delicious.

Slight citrus aroma. Orange and cloudy with a stiff, white head that stays around for a while. Flavor is spicy and complex with hints of clove, anise and pepper.

Pretty dark orange, nice head, somewhat cloudy. Citrus and coriander aroma, very wheaty (of course) and yeasty. Why is this called a barley wine? Somewaht sweet, full mouthfeel, a really great "wheat beer". A nice handful of hops in the finish makes this a unique and very tasty brew.
