Magic_dave6 (3476), Glasgow, Scotland May 4, 2008 Bottle huge thanks to wetherel! Aroma is great, packed full of citrusly orangy peel and lemmon hop, wheat is evedent and as it warms peppery alcohol comes through too. Taste is similar when in the mouth, but once swallowed the wheaty clove orange character are actually fighting with the near iipa hoppyness, causaeing a very confusing and annoying flavour to finish. This stays the whole beer which tells me one of two things. Get rid of the wheat and you’ve got a hot iipa. Or get rid of the hops and you’ve got an hot wheat wine. Either would be great for me, but not together. I still think this is a fairly drinkable beer for the strength, like its probably easier than bigfoot, but that finish just really got in the way.
