Commercial Description:
Another recently created American style, wheat wine, as its name implies, is a strong ale made with a substantial measure of malted wheat as well as barley. A close cousin to barleywines, wheat wines are typically strong, full bodied, deep gold to amber in color and feature a subtle soft tangy flavor derived from their wheat malt.

22 oz bottle thanks to JHop. Ruby brownish pour woth a decent head. Aromas were sweet and very barleywineish. Molassas, caramel, some plummish fruit. Flavors were similar up front, but with a bit of bandage on the finish. Besides the bandage, the flavor and hoppiness somehow reminded me of Arrogant Bastard....hmm... Not bad

The color was a darker gold with a fruit smell topping it out. Smooth fruity flavor. Good!

Not so much peppery as bittersweet. Very little tanginess, like a gingery tea. Pace yourself with this bad-boy.

22 oz bomber. Pours an orange copper color with a medium sized white head. Aroma has a moderate alcohol presence with hints of orange peel, tangy tangerine,malt and hops. Taste is slightly sweet with alcohol presence. Pleasant burn as it goes down. Tangy citrus and malty hops also present. Very nicely done. Wasnt aware of the 11% alc content until I started rating this. Be careful, will hit you quick.

Columbus 2.0 brought by ohiodad. Poured a cloudy reddish orange color with a little white head. Aroma seemed a little like an aged barleywine although i believe this was somewhat fresh. Pretty hot and peppery but i thought it was still pretty good.
