Brewed mostly from malted wheat and toasted rolled wheat, Barnacle Wheat IPA sports a silky, medium weight palate, characteristic dry tartness and fresh wheaty flavors. New Zealand hops Rakau and Riwaka lend smooth, firm bittering and subtle tropical notes. Unfiltered for maximum wheaty goodness.

Took some coaxing to get a decent but thin head on top, body is yellow-gold with only a modest amount of fog. Very hoppy aroma, sweetness, only a tiny hint of wheat on the nose. Flavour is strong hoppiness, sweet lemon, bitter finish. More IPA than wheat ale, but there I go rating to style again. It’s likely I’ll finish the bottle.

Bottle - Orange citrus, grain and mild yeast. Nice upfront bitterness, citrus, hay and a mellow sweet yeast. Not as refreshing as I would have expected but still nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with big head. Aromas of citrus, pineapple,apricot, and toasted malts. Flavors of sharp hops, wheat, and light apricot. Expecting more from the nose.

650mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose brings out signature New Zealand hops, dry crackery and biscuity malts, and dry wheat. Flavour brings out medium pungent piney hops, cut down a little by the wheat notes, and a bit of crackery malt backing. The hops are present than the wheat - the wheat shows itself more by muting the hop flavours. Decently made. A nice thirst-quencher, but not terribly exciting or enjoyable.
