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.

on tap - philadelphia - tasted like a powerful barleywine that went wrong. maybe it’s not my cup of ale, but I didn’t enjoy this. Reddish copper color, big bubble carbonation with very little head around the edges. Flavor was sour to start and finished with an aftertaste that just wouldn’t go away.

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.

Pours amber orange with a decent cream colored head. Nise sweet nose with caramel and dried fruits. The mouthfeel is smooth. The flavor is a bit too sweet with sugars and caramel.

Bottle (2007). Pours orange/red with an off white head. Sweet aroma of honey and caramel, with fruity and grassy hop notes. Medium body, very warming in the mouth. Flavor is sweet malt, with fruit and caramel as well as grass. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. Pretty good.
