Notes:
John Barleycorn is memorialized in English folk tradition as the personification of the barley plant, sacrificed at harvest time and then reborn as beer or ale. Our Harvest Dance Wheat Wine is a celebration of John’s Midwestern cousin, wheat. Beginning with a large portion of wheat malt, we add an equally generous helping of Hallertau and Citra hops and age the ale on both French and American oak. The result is a big, warming burst of tropical fruit flavors, highlighted by subtle wine-like notes, and rounding slowly to a long, dry, oaky finish.

This beer pours a hazy orange color with a huge 2inch head. The retention goes on and on and leaves some spotty lacing as it subsides.

The aroma is terrific. Huge citrusy hop notes hit me up front. It's lightly phenolic and boozey as well with a light dose of sweet grain.

The taste is nice. Again, some great citrus notes with a light hop bitterness. It's lightly spicey with a small touch of oak. It's earthy in that it's seemingly grassy and grainy and lightly sweet. This is unique and very interesting to me.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a high dose of large bubbled carbonation.

Overall this is an awesome beer. It's hugely unique and a real pleasure to consume. I love the nose and the taste has some fantastic subtlety to it. I'm really looking forward to the progression this beer will give me as it warms. Thanks for another great one.

3.96/5  rDev -2.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

A: The beer is hazy pale yellow in color. It poured with a finger high off white head that died down, consistently leaving a thin head covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of bananas from the yeast are present in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste has flavors of bananas, wheat and yeast along with hints of sweet malts and oak.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little dry on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seemed to taste more like a triple compared to a wheatwine and wasn't nearly as drinkable compared to other beers in the style.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

A-Hazy gold with a fizzy white head that leaves some slight lacing

S-Belgian Yeast, spicy, a hint of hops-smells like a tripel or a saison

T-Yeasty, semi spicy, hint of clove, and some booze. It tastes like a tripel or a very flavor saison.

M-pretty thick and chewy

D-very drinkable, but its high abv will definitely cut into the amount you can drink in a setting

Overall, this was my first wheatwine and I enjoyed it. I would drink this again.
