Sep 10, 2009 Wheat, orange, lemon, some tart on the nose. Golden pour, thin head, light lace, some sediment. Wheat, orange, green apple, tart, honey, light vanilla. Somewhat tart and not what I thought would be going on with this style. Large carb. Lingering dryness.

Sep 10, 2009 750ml 2007 bottle corked and caged from ughsmash. Nose is tart, apple, cherry...not really like any wheat wine I have smelt before. Tart, thin, chardonnay characteristics...just not to style imho. Honestly, I was thinking it was ’bugged’ but as riversideak pointed out the ratings are similar. Thanks Jason for the chance to try this one.

Sep 4, 2009 2008 bottle poured a yellow amber in color with a still appearance and no pop when the cork came out. aroma has sweet pear, tropical fruit, light spice, caramel, and an interesting twist with the hefe yeast. light mouth feel with little carbonation. flavor gets a little more grainy, caramel sweetness, light bitterness, and spiced yeast. i cant say that i really get the barrel aging here other than to cool the alcohol heat.

Aug 30, 2009 2009-08-27. Orange amber body with a good sized off white head, some floaties. ( 3+) interesting aroma, lovely strange fruit melange, sweet not quite mango or tropical fruit, muted malt. Ɨ+) Flavour is pleasantly sweet up front, dry alcohol follow up. Mild fruit character once the alcohol passes, touch of fruit, tropical to citrus, I can not place it but it is pleasant. Alcohol is relatively restrained but is prominent enough to occassionaly distract from a fairly subtle flavour profile. Some interesting esters and alcoholic/phenolic notes as it warms up. Smooth medium bodied palate. Simple at times, but rather unique. Lovely. More please. 2006 Vintage Bottle shared by Blankboy

Aug 18, 2009 2008 bottle purchased in Columbus, OH at Grapes of Murth. Rating because I don’t want to watch a movie. Hazy orange color with little chunks floating. The aroma is nothing that gets me excited. It lies somewhere between musty, sharp and acidic, and vinuous. Triangulate that?! The flavor is also unique with some amounts of sour beer flavor that is Flemish in nature. Wheat is present but it is not predominant. Woodish notes and some amount of “funk” that I just lack the words to explain. Mouth feel is soft carbonation with medium, again, soft body. Overall this is different. I did not expect much but it is a beer that asks you to keep trying it. Different and enjoyable.

Aug 11, 2009 Found in a 12.7 oz bottle at my local liquor store. Opens with not pop of carbonation, a dark golden color, lightly cloudy, chunks of yeast with a thin, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is fantastic, very heavy sweet peach, melon and banana combo are noticed first, light honey and healthy dose of oak and caramel malt at the very end. Flavor has a sweet peach hitting fast and fades to the background of banana, cinnamon, oak woodiness, light coriander or cinnamonish spice note and a very very light noble hops bitterness at the end. A little light for a barley wine but fits pretty well for the weiss style, the one it seems to lean toward in the 2008 version. Very tasty brew that is fantastic in the smaller bottled batches and one I think I will stock up on for future tastings.
