Commercial Description:
This American Wheat Wine features an amber color, rich malty body, and pleasant malt sweetness balanced by the use of American hops. With an alcohol content of 9.9% abv (the highest ever produced here at Great Adirondack) look for a warming sensation on the palate and a slightly fruity flavor with hints of caramel and toasted malt.

courtesy of EGajdzis. Pours a cleanish amber/brown body with a sticky tan head. The aroma was quite earthy with some sweet fruity and sugary notes. Flavors were dirty, pine and citrus hops with toasted malts and carmel present. Extremely easy to drink at first but as it warmed the alcohol really started to take center stage and pretty much dominate the taste.

Sampled from growler thanks to egajdzis. Poured a medium amberish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus / oranges, caramel, and fruity. Tastes of caramel, toffee, citrus, fruity, and light pine. Alcohol content well hidden.

Poured a lightly hazy red amber color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of toffee, light caramel, faint banana, honey, citrus, pine, and floral hops. Taste of citrus fruits, sweet caramel, molasses, pine, bitter grapefruit, and a sweet, toasty, alcoholic finish.
