Notes

After 4 weeks in the bottle, this tasted absolutely horrid, as if you took a sip from a 12 AA Sorachi tea. I was really worried because it had such a high %. 2 weeks later, the Ace blended nicely into the background of sweet wheat. Strangest beer I have ever made. Very refreshing twist in the anti-Reinheitsgebot.
Recorded OG was 1.050 @ 72F, FG 1.012. Ferm temp avg 68
