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.

Cask at GBBF 2008 Pours murky brown, this is a real bolshie, full bodied, heavy hitting beer totally in yer’ face. Quite thick and fullsome in the mouth, lacking in subtlety but not without its plus points. Bit too sweet for me, but there are some nice malty and wheaty touches.

Cask at GBBF ’08. Dark copper: a good looking beer. Tasted good too, in fact it was the Beer of the Festival as far as I was concerned. Glorious sweet malty alcoholic aroma. Sweet oily taste, full of forbidden pleasures. Some bitterness and an earthy, lingering vegetal aftertaste. Loved it.

Cask@GBBF2008. Hazy orange colour, small beige bubbly head. Aroma is alcohol and wheat with some minor spicy notes. Flavour is fruits, wheat, alcohol and some mild spices. Gets quite bitter in the finish.

Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a hazy amber with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, wheat, spicy yeast, and light fruit. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.
