Commercial Description:
Grace House is the dwelling on the grounds of the winery and brewery and was constructed in the 1840s. Like the style of the Grace House, this ale is brewed in a more delicate style. We blend wheat and barley malts to produce this light-bodied golden ale. With just a touch of sweetness from locally-produced clover honey, it finishes clean and smooth with a slightly fruity aroma.

(bottle - 12 oz) Gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet and odd at the beginning with some light hints of wheat. Flavor is sweet honey at the beginning with a very bitter wheat middle. The honey disappears and leaves only wheat and bitterness on the finish.

bottle: mixed feelings about this one. The arouma had a sweet smell, but one of my friends immediately identified it as vomit. I think that’s a bit harsh, but I do sense some "bile" notes and cardboard in the nose. The brew pours amber, tastes of sweet malts, honey and clover, sweet lingering honey in the aftertaste. Brightly carbonated with a light body. I thought it was balanced with just the right amount of bitter. Not a bad brew, but once you get the "vomit" label in your head, its hard to get out.

Deep gold with fluffy white head and lace. Aroma of paper honey and mustiness. Sweet malt and honey flavor. Nice body with good carbonation.

12oz bottle–pours a big foamy white head and gold color. Aroma is herbal hops, light malt-sweet, yeast. Taste is herbal hops, light malt-sweet, yeast. Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this.

Looks like this one has had some mixed reviews. The current 2.3 overall score is a bit low in my opinion. This was a very smooth refreshing lawnmower beer that actually had some flavor imparted to it by the honey. While not my favorite style, this is a well crafted light beer.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of honey, wheat, light citrus. Tastes of honey with some earthy hints and a light citrussy finish.

bottle poured a medium golden color with a huge four finger head of foamy white head. a fair amount of floating particles is present and the carbonation is at the top of the scale. aroma has light wheat, faint honey, and some hefty minerals. flavor is very light, stale wheat, grass, light honey, and again lots of minerals. does not seem to be filtered properly and the carbonation is way too high and becomes distracting.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear straw gold body with a moderate fizzy white head that faded to a sparse film fairly quickly. The nose is pretty light and delicate, some hay and grassy notes with a subtle accent of natural smelling honey. Very light in the flavor as well, the honey is pretty prominent giving it a somewhat floral character. Light wheat with no yeast character. Finishes rather short with a slight hop tinge. Mouthfeel is light bodied and thin, as expected, with moderate fizzy carbonation. This wasn’t the most flavorful beer, but given how poor so many American Wheats are, this is actually pretty decent comparably.
