Oct 1, 2003 Updated: Sep 15, 2004I have to give this beer high marks. I love barleywines and this is a beer that they say because of the wheat doesnt have to age like a barleywine. Gold, strong and highly alcoholic, 9.6% I believe. Not a typical wheat beer.
-------& just had a new batch made with cognac barrel oak chips. Simply incredible beer. A must try for any big beer drinker.

Apr 2, 2003 On tap at the brew pub. Lighter copper color. Large head which receedes quickly. Very sweet and malty. Somewhat fruity nose. Alcohol is well hidden. Pretty good !

Feb 24, 2003 Clear amber, minimal head. Aroma is cane sugar sweet. Taste is very sweet, cotton candy, wheat. The light body leaves the alcohol taste pretty evident.

Dec 22, 2002 Not so much of a head but more of a delicate sheen oner the top of a golden sunset. Fruity candy nose. Candied apricots with traces of malt and alcohol. Overall way to sweet.

Nov 26, 2002 (CASK)Wonderful, golden hue. Perfect creamy white head great lacing. Served in a snifter. Cask seemed a little warmer than I am used to, almost the temp of firkin I thought. But that was nice as Apparently no one in the desert sells beers from a firkin.
Great, sweet honey flavor. The alcohol is masked very well, but it really packs a punch.

Oct 6, 2002 Re-Rate 10/05/02: (CASK) Deep cloudy amber, ’Chill Hazed’, decent white head, tonnes of lace. Nose is sweet, citrus, lightly floral, tad yeasty, malt and quite ’Sniffable’. Front is malt sweet, the top is middling, finish is surpassingly
hopped, thoroughly dry, and the high abv makes this a joy to ’Quaff’ Ranks a respectable #177 on my current 1000 beer masterlist

Aug 12, 2002 It’s nice to see brewers trying to think out of the box. This has the sweet maltyness of a big barleywine but the wheat twang balances the sweetness well and makes this a very refreshing beer. The whopping 9.6% is appreciated.
