Maple Wheat

Brewer: Yours Truly
Style: umm.... wheat?
ABV: ~8.8%
IBU:
Serving Type: 12 oz bottle poured into Bohemian pilsner

Ap: Orange-amber. Thin, white head quickly fades. Cloudy, but better clarity than I expected.

Ar: Maple sweet. Malty, fruity.

T: Very sweet. Maple and malty. Some definite souring, probably from age. Doesn't show the 8.8% alcohol.

M: Thin bodied, medium in carbonation. Dry finish.

I: Has not aged well. Used to have more bosy and at least a little hop character to back up the sweetness.

My score: 2/5 (probably a 3 or 4 in its heyday).

Brewed September 12, 2009, so about a little over a year and a half since brewed. Stored at room temp or a little below. I'd hoped that the higher alcohol would protect it from some of the ill effects of aging, but alas.
