We be Wheatin'

American Wheat or Rye Beer • Extract • 5 gal

Brewed on 5-24 and moved to secondary on 6-02. It was a little darker than predicted but it still should be a pretty good beer. It had a great aroma when I pulled the top off the fermenter.

This one was just outstanding. I had a "microbrewed" wheat over the weekend with some buddies and then we tried mine and everyone preferred mine. This one had great head retention and good malt/wheat flavor. The honey helped it finish a little dry with some notes of fruit. Not trying to brag folks but this was one good drinking beer. Cheers!
