Nov 29, 2007 Bottle from Crown #15 in Fishers, IN; shared with theisti. Pours a hazy, golden-orange with a creamy, off-white head. It has a sweet, malty, wheat nose with notes of citrus and pineapple. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation, a mildly bitter finish and a light hit of alcohol. The flavor is a solid, sweet wheat front with barley wine-like notes of big malt and fruit, only the fruits are the lighter notes present in the aroma. Very different, and a nice use of wheat malt in a bigger beer.

Nov 29, 2007 22 oz. bottle shared by Gregis. Pour is slightly hazy orange gold with a one inch head that fades quickly to pretty much nothing. Aroma is pineapple citrus with some rounded malt sweetness and a wheat background. Taste is nice, fairly muted with the nice citrus hop bitterness, malt and wheat backbone. Body has a nice Barley Wine mouth feel. Wheat throughout, really get the wheat body in the finish. Thanks for sharing this one Greg!

Nov 2, 2007 Poured hazy orange with fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus and alcohol. Surprising good hop flavor for being 2 years old. Citrus, candy, and wheat hints also present. Harsh alcohol finish but drinkable.

Nov 1, 2007 22oz bottle. Being that 11th anniversary has been released, I would say this is at least 2 years old. Poured into a brandy snifter the color is a melon orange with a very thin wispy head of white swirls. The aroma is sweet and interesting. There are hops there as well, resiny hops. Intriguing. The flavor is sweet, definitely aged in its smoothness. The wheat character is minor but detectable. The primary flavor is a candy sweetness that is barely cleaned up by the remaining hops. An interesting experiment and a tasty beer.

Oct 21, 2007 Had this on tap at Mugs in Brooklyn. Strong malt and hop aroma. Cloudy pale orange color with a large white head due to the fact that we had the last of the keg, sorry. Creamy start finishing with a piney hop bitterness. A well balance strong ale.
