Marin Star Brew Triple Wheat Ale

Brewed by Marin Brewing Company
Style: Barley Wine
Larkspur, California USA

Bottle. Pours a bubbling golden orange. Sweet passion fruit, pineapple. Mouth is syrupy. This is good, put too sweet.

22 oz bomber from Bier Stein. First off let me state that this is definitely not a barleywine, and has no business being listed as so on here. This sucker pours out a light orange with a moderate white head and solid lacing with some floaties lingering as well. Very sweet smelling, with wheat, malt and some light citrus hop. Flavor is very smooth with hefty wheat, lemon and honey and a moderate hop feel. Very easy drinking. Not bad, I’d try this wheatwine style again.

22oz bottle that I picked up from John’s Market about a month ago. Pours a clear golden orange/amber color with a decent head that settles to a perfect halo ring around my glass. Nose is wheaty, malty bubblegum-sweet smelling with some grainy alcohol notes. Decent carbonation with a thinner body in comparison to other wheatwines I have had. Sweet orange notes with wheat and then some bittering on the end. Warms a bit on the way down, but not overly abrasive. Kind of one dimensional.

The label no longer looks anything like this so I will send a new photo. This, from a 22 oz bottle, poured a clear orange to copper color with a huge white head and good lacing. Very attractive. The nose comes up with an aroma of pine and citrus hops on top of lots of wheat and malts. Very slick and smooth mouthfeel. Flavor favors the malts but there is some hop bitterness present. A really nice drinking beer that hides well the high alcohol content.

partly cloudy, dead, and golden body with average white head and lacing--looks great; overall big and sweet wheat ale with notes of butter, honey, and lemon--alcohol is well-hidden; average palate--a bit too syrupy for what it is; ... but I think it is great stuff!

clearish orange gold color, the thin white head ring on the outskirts of the glasslands, hop spice alcohol nose, syrupy hop resin flavor, piney hop cone. bright wheat butter richness, mild DMS, big juicy hop character, probably too hoppy for style but really a very enjoyable wheat wine, I really enjoyed this, underated

Bottle from City Beer. A really solid wheatwine. Clear orangish-golden color with a nice off-white head. Aroma is malty with some wheat, honey, and yeast. Flavor is lots of wheaty malt with a honey-like sweetness. Hop bitterness on the finish. Alcohol well-hidden but not completely absent. Palate is medium-full and slightly syrupy.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours a rich orange color with a short lived offwhite head. Smell is very much of wheat and not much else that is discernable. Taste is richly wheaty and wheatwine like as expected. Rich body and medium carbonation with a very light touch of hops. Slightly viscous mouthfeel. Nice beer.
