There's a lot going on in this triple wheat ale, and it continues to evolve as it warms in the glass. The nose is heady and intense, as assertive aromas of orange, peach, white strawberry, yeast and spice mingle with hidden accents of barnyard and earth. The complexity continues in the mouth with a texture like liquid velvet: creamy but light and clean. The alcohol is remarkably balanced and the finish is dry and long, with an earthy spice flavor persisting throughout. #1 on Wine Enthusiast's Top 25 Beers of 2011
