Simple Things Fermentations Wheat Wine - Big Ideas Series 20

A richly textured sipping beer with expressive fruity and hoppy notes. Light amber with a golden/orange tint and some haze, topped with a tight white head that clings to the side of the glass. Its like inhaling Christmas cake mix; a big, fruity aroma with orange, banana, toffee, candied peel, sherry and dried fruit. Half of the grain bill is wheat, so theres a bready-honey sweetness thats balanced by a firm hop bitterness from English First Gold and Bramling Cross hops. Orange peel and boiled sweets mingle and theres a sherry-like finish in which tannins, resin, citrus fruits and clean light alcohol notes linger long. Amazing with cheese. This is a beer that balances an alcoholic exterior with a sweet viscous interior.

Description Simple Things’ Wheat Wine is a golden beer with aromas of dry fruit, sherry and caramel. Like a Barley Wine, but a little bit fruitier. This is a big chewy sipper of a beer. Simple Things Fermentations say “Number 20 was always going to have to be a standout and what better than a Wheat Wine, a rarely brewed style that offers something genuinely different. Ours offers a light alcohol warmth along with a hefty dose of hops, like a fruity version of an English Barley Wine it balances an alcoholic exterior with a sweet viscous interior.  “It’s like inhaling Christmas cake mix; a big, fruity aroma with orange, banana, toffee, candied peel, sherry and dried fruit. Half of the grain bill is wheat, so there’s a bready-honey sweetness that’s balanced by a firm hop bitterness from English First Gold and Bramling Cross hops plus a dash of Mandarina Bavaria. Orange peel and boiled sweets mingle and there’s a sherry-like finish in which tannins, resin, citrus fruits and clean light alcohol notes linger long. Needless to say, it’s amazing with cheese and will age well.” 9% 330ml bottle
