COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brew is an unfiltered American Red Wheat. The red wheat added in the beer combines nicely with the caramel, and chocolate malts to give it a sweet, creamy traditional style ale, with a new feel. The hop levels are low, and subtle, which lets the yeast characteristics really come out in this beer. This beer is a more dark cloudy beer due to the wheat malts added, this is part of the characteristics.

Purchased a howler at the local bevy-mart after noticing it hailed from my hometown. I checked out their website (which is a Facebook page - time to upgrade, boys!). They mentioned their Windsor Ale and they noted that it wasn’t like your normal darker ale and they were right. It had a thin to minimal head with a nutty, floral aroma. The cloudy, brown ale tasted bitter but much, much smoother and lighter than one may expect - just what the brewers wrote. I would say that it has a medium body and slick texture with a long finish. Would say it has coffee and citrus tastes if having those together in a darker ale is possible. Bottom line is I’m glad that I tried it and will look for as the leaves turn here in Vermont - which will be sooner rather than later. This is a brew that could compete with other popular local favorites over the next long Vermont fall/winter/spring if folks will give it a try
