You’ve heard of barley wine, well we are calling this a Wheat Wine, what we believe was the first of its kind in the UK.
We took our popular Henley Gold recipe to the extreme by bumping up the wheat.
To try and cut the heaviness from that much wheat we added our weight in local honey and fermented with our Henley Gold yeast strain and then patiently cold conditioned for 6 months prior to bottling.

Keg at the Rake, Borough, 21/12/13. Lightly hazed golden with a thin off white covering. Nose is light booze, caramel, sugar, soft bread dough. Taste comprises dark fruits, caramelised sugars, candyfloss, caramel. Medium bodied with a little bite, moderate carbonation. Ok stuff but lacks a little depth.

Keg at Lovibonds, 8th September 2013, 8.3 ABV, apparently according to bar tender. Drank below the ABV, not my kind of beer, ok, could not drink a pint

Bottle from Utobeer, shared with some Aberdonians! It pours clear golden amber with a small off-white head. The nose is caramel, honey, sweet ripe fruits and wheat. The taste is also fairly sweet...caramelised banana, apple, sugar, bread, wheat and a touch of alcohol warmth. Medium body, fine carbonation and syrupy carbonation. A bit too sweet and not a whole lot too it. OK at best.

Clear amber beer. Low carbonation. Soft palate. Sweet sweet malt with a little caramel. Some repressed sweet fruits. Just a very sweet and simple beer. Dessert beer? Drinkable!

Medium offwhite head doesn’t last. Clear amber body with light carbonation. Mealy honey and dried fruit aroma with papery resiny notes. Dry-sweet honeyish resiny old books taste with syrupy funky notes. Fullish body. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dry honeyish resiny old books aftertaste with fruity notes. Lovely! Like a really good vintage beer, which I guess it partly is. (0.75l bottle from beermerchants. Label said best before end of 2010.)

750mL bottle, pours pale golden orange. Aroma of wheat, caramel and apples. Flavour is sort of an amplified apple juice, with wheat and candied sugar as well. Quite decent.
