Hop filled nose. Strong hops on the palate, along with hops and damp old orange peel. Bitter, from the hops. Did someone sneak a batch of this into a brewery?? Did I mention it tasted of HOPS? Be nice if there was a little more to it than a beer lover's dream. Color of Belgian ale. 13.5% For your beer drinking friends who say they don't like wine, they'll love this, because it's not wine. [Blend of Vitovksa, Malvasia, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and a small amount of Tocai/Friulano and Glera]

Hah, just had a Mikkeller Wit Fit wheat beer (from a can - I'm a hipster now!) that tasted so strongly of hops that it actually had an orange peel thing going on. Probably lower than 13.5% but forgot to look.
