Commercial Description:
A Wheatwine Style Ale.

In early 14th Century England, Sir William of Wykeham began a tradition to assist wayfarers on holy pilgrimages. Travelers would go to the Hospital of St. Cross in Winchester for a free ration, or "dole", of bread and ale. This became known as the "Pilgrim's Dole".

Bomber. Clear orange amber with a dense white head. Big caramel nose, thick sweet malt, maple and toffee. The wheat emerges a bit in the flavor, but it’s boozy, hot and not real tasty, frankly. How can a beer have such a pleasant nose and taste so nasty?

Bottle courtesy of tampabrew. Pours an amber orange color with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and boozy with notes of caramel, maple syrup, brown sugar, light floral hops, some notes of toffee. Flavor is sweet and malty with boozy notes of syrup, caramel, brown sugar, honey, some light fruit. Medium body with a pleasing boozy malt finish.

Thanks TampaBrew for the share. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, sugar, and a barely noticeable hop presence. Flavor is sweetness all over- sugar, caramel, light fruit, booze, and some lingering sweetness.. Medium bodied and very enjoyable.

Sampled draft on tap at the brewpub (Holland, MI). Pours a nice full amber, some darker notes, small white head that dies to a film and clings to the glass. Aromas are lightly sweet maltiness, light florals, caramel and toffee malt sweetness seem the dominant. Initial is a bit malty up front, some warming booze with light hoppiness up front. A bit of nuttiness, toffee, and biscuit moves into a nice underlying bitterness, floral and earthy. Interesting, but not necessarily my thing. Booze is warming, easily recognizable as it goes down. Decent, but lacks defining qualities for a wheat wine..

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy red- amber color with a small khaki head. The aroma was strong fruity hops, molasses, caramel and apple. The flavor was fruity with sour nut and toasty caramel. The finish was long with sour nutty caramel. The mouthfeel was fairly flat but thick. Something in this one just did not work for me.
