Wheat Wine Ale

Brewed with 50% Canadian Wheat Malt and a blend of imported Pilsner and Munich malts. Aggressively hopped with French Strisselspalt and US Columbus hops. The Wheat Malt imparts a slight tang that ties in beautifully with the blackcurrant notes from the abundant use of Strisselspalt Hops. At 10% alc./vol. this ale is ridiculously smooth and easy to drink. Savour the dry, clean finish.

Cloudy amber color with small head. Aroma of overripe fruits, some alcohol, glue. Smooth mouthfeel, full bodied, moderately sweet; anonymous cardboardy malt flavor, with a touch of liquorice, strong bitterness, chicory bitterness in the end, and a dusty feeling.
Messy, difficult to drink.

Bottle - Wheat, honey and pale malts. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Apricots, honey and orange with quite a bit of alcohol heat. It is surprisingly balanced though and the alcohol although very much there doesn’t overwhelm.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Cloudy orangey gold with mild white head. Smells of black currant, malts, and varnish/white out. Starts off bitter with a tangy sweet stonefruit taste to end. Very malty.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy dark orangey amber with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, apple skins, toffee, and candied sugar. Flavour brings out dry piney hops, caramel, apple skins, and modest candied sugar. Surprisingly fairly complex, with quite a dry hoppy body, not as thick as a barley wine, so it's quite easy-drinking. Great stuff - one of Russell's best.
