This BHW is pretty darn good for a dark wheat beer--I usually prefer the American wheats for the higher hop quality. This recipe is really flavorful and is very good after about 4 weeks in the bottle. The flavor is malty and would probably make a better winter than a summer wheat. Sorry this description is kind of lame, I'm tired. Basically, it is a great beer, probably make it again during the winter months. Low on hops, smooth yet robust maltiness. The berts like it the both of them.
