3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Lunar Brewing Co., and served to a snifter with a hazed, orange/amber, a finger width of off white froth & bubbles, and wavy cling to the lacing. The aroma was a light nose of fruitiness, soft wheat, and a touch of caramel. The flavor, on the other hand, was strong & boozy alcohol warmth, sweetness, a touch of tartness, some syrupy texture, medium to full body, soft carbonation, and a light silkiness to the mouthfeel. Mellowed out more as it warmed, or my system was beginning to adapt. Still lethal at this point, and a slow sipper to be sure!

2012 growler. Pours a slick amber with no head. Coppery citrus aroma. Taste is fairly hop forward and noticeably less sweet than a barleywine. A bit thick and syrupy with a good alcohol burn. Nothing special, but dangerously drinkable.

(bottle). Limited aroma with light amber complexion and thin head. The Wheat-Barley Wine is a unique style with distinctive qualities and flavors of each style. A fun summer barleywine.
