Dogbrick (17956) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - OCT 18, 2017Sample at the brewpub. Hazy dark amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. The aroma consists of malt, wheat, fruit and hops. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, fruit, wheat and mild hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall. Decent overall.
JK (7157) - St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA - JUL 24, 2014I had this during my honeymoon. Draft at the brewpub in Portsmouth. Dark, opaque copper color and nearly still without carbonation. Sweet caramel and sugar, with lingering hop bitterness and full palate with perceivable alcohol. I liked this.
davey101 (752) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 9, 20142014, best by August 2014. 22 oz bomber into a tulip glass. Pours a dark red with a light khaki head that disappears completely over time. Nose is dark fruits and berries with some caramel and booze. Taste is toffee, raisins, berries, wheat and some floral hops. Finishes sticky, boozy, and sweet. Carbonation is a bit low. Overall it’s a big sipper. Nothing amazing, but very warming.
Bacterial (3140) - Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA - MAY 21, 2014Draft at the brewpub. Hazy amber pour, naive slightly fruity nose (the bartender said strawberry, but my nose just isn’t that good). Nice malt character without being overly sweet. Strong hops and just at ing bitterness on the finish. Really nice.

ben4321 (9773) - Metuchen, New Jersey, USA - OCT 13, 2013Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 7/12/13
Aroma: The aroma is sweet malts, some fruit/strawberry, and a little boozy too
Appearance: It pours a copperish-amber color with some off-white head on it
Flavor: Flavor-wise, this one is sweet and a little boozy, I got strawberry, citrus, and wheat
Palate: The mouthfeel is decent, it has a medium body, and an average length duration
Overall Impression:
You know, I wasn’t a huge fan of this one, but, at the same time, this is a decent attempt at the style. Portsmouth might not have made a top of style Wheat Wine, but I’m glad the at least attempted this style.
