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.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with thin orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, grassy, and fruity - especially oranges, as well as a light note of wheaty. The flavor has strong notes of over ripe fruits, wheat, and alcohol, leading to a slightly bitter finish. The alcohol leaves a slight burn on the palate.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Hoppy, citrusy nose. Medium body, citrusy accents and a fairly solid dose of hops. Unfortunately this appears a little tired. 270607

Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear reddish amber, minimal head. Resiny grapefruit flowery hops up front. Sweet and quite thick. Vinous with lots of warming alcohol, and full body. Despite the caramelly malt alcohol remains dominant, pushing it slightly off balance.

Cask at GBBF08. Weak caramel aroma. Clear dark chestnut colour. Very small tan head. Quite sweet. Caramelly hop flavour, a little hop bite, probably mostly alcohol. Quite nice, but I do not taste any wheat.
