I brewed this back in October of 06. The exact dates elude me and I don't have my brew journal handy. I found the recipe to be a little strange at first and later realized that the only thing wheat about the beer was the yeast. I may give it another go in the future and modify this recipe. The gravity ended up being a little lower than posted and the beer itself was emtpy and light. I tried to spruce it up with some light DME for priming and that seamed to bring some life out of it. After it conditioned for a while in the bottle flavor seemed to come out more. If its to warm it will foam up and you'll have to let it sit for a while.
