Bold, resolute, nuanced. This estate wheat wine ale reflects an intense character expression of the grain grown at Wheatland Spring. Old Trails, New Song is a layered sipper, brimming with aromas of caramel, deep toffee, fig and dates. An extended boil 5+ hours brought forward depth and complexity further aided by maturation in French oak puncheons.

$12.15 500ml bottle from WW. Yes, I overpaid, but it's a new VA brewery tick and it sounds good. Pours murky brown with a small beige head. Nose is fig, purple grape, butter, caramel. Flavor is fig, caramel, brown sugar, alcohol, bread crust, butterscotch. Booze isn't hidden. Overpaid by quite a bit, but it's not bad.
