Commercial Description:
Our Brewmasters' Release - The three different red, caramelized, and dark wheat malts give this beer an intense red color that runs as deep as the flavor. The toasted grain flavors blend perfectly with the subtle spiciness of the hops just as the entirety fades to a smooth quick finish.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a slightly hazy dark amber color with an off-white head. Nalty wheaty caramel aroma. Sweetish wheat malty flavor with some rosated hints and some hints of caramel. Sweetish wheat malty caramel finish.

A wheat beer with a different color. Interesting experiment in how grain choice affects different aspects of the ale.

Bottle. Sweet barley malt aroma. Red body with average head. Flavor like sweet corn syrup with some dry wheat. Not a smooth drinkable beer. Sticky palate with a corn aftertaste. Should of went to bed instead of drinking this one.

An amber appearance with a white head. The aroma contains some caramel, lemons, and bananas. The flavor is rather malty with some caramel, citrus, and bananas. The palate is rather thin. Overall I was not impressed with this.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Fleeting white head over a dark amber body. Sweet malt aroma. Starts sweet then quickly heads to a velvety all out dryness. A bit thin. No real wheat character here.

Bottle. Dark rusty brown colored body, clear. Nose is pale and transparent maple-centered... some nutty hops, chewy caramel and cedar flavored malt... not terribly impressive, very subdued and quiet nose, when it could be more assertive. Flavor is cracked grains, some scotch-like malts, maple, rum, tobacco, etc... but not really interesting at all. A light bit of roast seems out of place, and as far as the wheat character is concerned, I guess I missed it entirely.

Disappointing. Low head but nice lace. Just a little malt and a slight carbonic bite. Balanced body, but so boring.

355ml bottle. Red/brown bosy with an off-white head. Aroma is light malty with hint of hops. Flavor is smoothing malty with a hint of caramel and light bitter. Reminds me more of a pilsner than wheat ale. Refreshing but not exactly exiting.
