Total Wine, Fairfax: Pours yellow with white head. Aroma is light citrus hops. This is not a hefe. it is a hoppy wheat ale. Is it the worst thing ever? No, not really, but I am not surprised that other people were unpleasantly surprised by this beer.

Capped 750 from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours very dark brown with a creamy/foamy tan head. Aroma is primarily chocolate, but there’s a touch of booze. Med body. Ale is just a bit towards sour. There’s a chocolate base, certainly some heat, and with time some bourbon and oak. I’m thinking some beastie got into the barrel and did the nasty. More lactic than brett - but something related. Probably the best thing that could have happened to the beer. Finishing nicely towards sour. Hope others get lucky! Enjoying this.

Bottle. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Cloudy dark orange to amber color with an off-white head. Aroma has alcohol, piney hops, somewhat resinous, slightly stale, a bit of fruitiness and some caramelly and slightly honey-ish malt. Flavor of sweetish malt, a bit caramelly, light grainy notes, and a bitter finish with hops, slightly stale, and light alcoholic notes. OK, but that’s it.
