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.

Mahogany color and clear with a small off-white head. Aroma is faint with wheat and bready aromas. Taste is of wheat with a light caramel flavor.

Pours amber w/ a decent head. Reduces to a fine lace. Aromas of snappy malts. Medium full nectar w/ good carbonation. Malty sweet w/ defined wheat characteristics. Caramel, biscuits, nectarine. The finish lingers fruity w/ mild acidity.

12oz bottle. Oranges beginning to go bad, wheat cereal soaked in milk for a few hours, a touch of almost lacto sweetness, and grainy bread dough on the nose. Pours a dark, inviting copper. Malted wheat and light caramel sweetness on the tongue. Light notes of metal and cardboard as well. Not a whole lot going on but far from offensive. Medium bodied and slightly creamy with a crisp and abrupt finish. Thanks Craig!

Very dark wheat color. Almost red. Small head that turns into just an oil slick. Nose is wheat, biscuits, toast. Taste is soapy and bland. This reminds me of a weak Fat Tire Ale. Not a whole lot went right with this beer. Maybe its time for a new brewmaster. Thank god I broke down the sixer.

Felt like a spouse with a headache if you follow my drift - just not in the mood. Nothing that was terribly wrong with this - decent fruity/estery and mice body - but ultimately didn’t DO IT for me.

Bottle... Poured deep amber with a moderate head. Aroma of faint berries and earthy hops. Malt dominate the flavors with sugary, earthy tones and fruit & hops towards the finish. I thought this beer was going to be either really terrible or surprisingly great, but it ended up being quite mediocre. Either way, it is disappointing for a brewmaster release.
