If I want vinegar, I’ll buy a bottle of vinegar at the grocery store. If I want beer, I don’t want vinegar. What you get with this is vinegar (and rotten vinegar, at that) disguised as a beer. This ox needs to be slaughtered and its tainted meat incinerated so that it cannot contaminate the rest of the beef supply.

I agree with Lumpy that there are some vinegar strains, particularly in the aroma, but there was also a substantial caramel and fruit layer that I thought made it a passable/stomachable sipping beer. Nut brown color. The palate was low on carbonation but it had some malty smoothness. I sat with it as I watched the double-overtime NCAA second-round game between Wake Forest (#2 seed) and West Virginia (#7 seed)--a nice upset for the Mountaineers.

Bottle. A wheat? Are you sure? Ok...No head on a brown body. Holy flying vino-this isn’t beer it is malt vinegar. This tastes EXACTLY like watered down malt vinegar. Seriously. I dare you to try this swill and disagree. I think this bad boy is beyond its sell by date. Straight down the F’n drain.

Just as Andrew196 said, the head was totally insane. I poured a an inch of liquid and the entire glass filled with head. Tangerine-colored. If this is a wheat beer, the label says nothing about it. Tastes not unlike soda water with the slightest bit of flavoring added. Not wheaty. Thin.

Very fizzy, ridiculous head! I poured about a quarter inch of beer into the pint and the head was at the top of the glass...no sludge either! Color was unfiltered orange...fizzed like a soda water. Citric hop taste, not bad, but not all that good either.
