Cornfield and I had this way back in early January...well before it was released to the public. It was obviously very young...hot alcohol shot/under-conditioned etc. But this baby has really mellowed well. Big creamy malted wheat flavor and mouthfeel. Sweet wheat malt, caramel and toffee, really smooth and absurdly creamy on the palate. The hops sneak in toclean up the finish with a substantial herbal/earthy crispness in the aftertaste. Alcohol mainly detectable in a peppery tongue lashing at the tailend of the drinking experience. Very well done.

Aug 20, 2008 Pours a clear dark amber with a orange fluffy head. A little lazy appearence. The nose is peaches, orangepeel, caramels and tons of hops. A thick and overwhelming palate with a oily touch and sparkling on the tounge. Taste is with dark honey, brown burned sugar and a clearly presens of alcohol. The finish is long and very bitter...wont do good in the beer-bong..but slowly in the glass...lovely

Aug 20, 2008 Bomber via trade a ways back, but I don’t really know who this came from, perhaps BBB63, if so thanks Mike. Poured into my Reidel Snifter. Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and very nicely balanced. Tasty sweet with a lot of wheatyness with some fruitiness. Very smooth and very tasty, a very nice wheat wine.

Aug 17, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a bright, clear oranged-amber color; light-tan head with solid fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of sweet, dried dark fruits (raisins, dates), sticky candy sugar, and some citrus bitterness on the perimeter of the aroma; sweet, complex, and overripe. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy dried fruits, caramel, and sweet candy sugar; lots of citrus bitterness at the edges; pretty reasonable carbonation; quite drinkable and dense, but sweet overall, and overripe, following the aroma; more than a touch overdone; lots of sugary sweetness and dried fruits throughout. Lengthy finish: sweet dried fruits, some caramel, and lasting candy sugariness.
