Murky dark brown color with a light colored head that leaves only small amounts of lacing. Coffee and roast in the smell, but there were also some hints of dark fruit and spice. Taste has some fresh green bean taste, coffee, and some dark fruits. High carbonation and light body. Again, this was certainly interesting, but not that enjoyable.

Interesting beer. If you had put it in front of me blindfolded I would have guessed I was drinking a typical hefe. Murky, dark brown pour. Aroma is yeasty, funky, citrus, and maybe some green grapes? Flavor is not as bold as the color would indidcate, but it is a good wheat beer anyway. Worth trying, but I wouldnt seek it out.

I was a very big fan of this beer, it was a very delicious smelling beer, and perhaps one of the darkest wheat beers I’ve ever had. The head wasn’t terribly big, but the color was a very pretty dark brown. There was a lot of yeast flavor and aroma.

From bottle when released with the Wheat series. While the Wheat Love was fantastic, Wheat 8 fell well short of my expectations.

<b>Batch 7133:</b> I actually forgot I had this hiding in the back of my fridge and figured I’d pull it out before heading out to watch the tourney games. Pours a dark ruby brown with a small tan head. Some slight oxidation has set in but not enough to detract from it too much...I can pretty much pick up on dark wheat and some subtle dark fruits and cinnamon. Still very well carbonated and has a nice body. Some mild chocolate notes are present with the wheat and dark malts...the fruity esters are present a tad bit as well. This is the only one out of the series that ended up being rateable...the others were drain pours and horribly oxidized. Even with this much age on it this still buries the local microbrewery’s Dunkelweizen that’s on tap right now.
