This years Christmas Ale is a Wheatwine; a strong, American-style wheat beer. Using a blend of Gladfield, Briess, Simpson and Best malts and a selection of US hops, we brought this brew to a whomping 24 degrees plato and attenuated down to a medium-dry finish with the help of White Labs San Diego Super Yeast. This Wheatwine was then aged for 30 Melbourne spring days in a mix of fresh Rye and Tennessee whisky barrels, resulting in a deceptively smooth 11.1% beer.

On tap at Rainbow Hotel. Pours deceptively deep, opaque gold, with tightly beaded head (which quickly dissipates). Dried fruits on nose. Tastes like fruitcake in all the right ways. Easy drinking again.
