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?

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..
