Wheat Wine Tasting...


Big moment. Going to use BJCP scoring. Try to be Objective. I will not be scoring as if they were to fit into a specific category.

Aroma - 8/12
Appearance - 3/3
Flavor - 9/20
Mouthfeel - 4/5
Overall impression - 5/10

Overall score - 29. Think this is pretty accurate. Beer is in the high good range. Happy with this for a first shot at 1-gallon brewing. Pros: The smell and color are perfect. The mouthfeel is full and smooth. Cons: There is a slight astringency at the finish that detracts from the taste.

Think the astringency may be from over-hopping or some temperature control issues during the mash leading to some tannin release. If brewed again would decrease the IBUs but I think that's about it.
