Weyerbacher Fourteen… an interesting wheat wine
Weyerbacher has produced this interesting wheat wine, a variation of the more traditional barley wine, as a celebration of their 14th year of making craft beer. The wheat adds some interesting characteristics and a new dimension as compared to its more common “barley wine ” cousin… spicy, sweet… really good! More details…
Pours a hazy darkish orange-amber in color with an almost non-existent white head. Aroma is honey sweet and spicy. Some yeastiness and fruity esters (hefe-like clove/banana?). Flavor is medium sweet, but the hop bitterness and the sourness of the wheat mostly balance that out. Belgian yeast, some harsh phenolics (needs aging!)… some orange/coriander. If I find this again (and I will look), I would let it cellar for a while. One of the more interesting wheat wines I’ve had. I liked it…
Definitely worth seeking out. Another great brew from this quality craft brewery…
