Gamma Ray ; Wheat Wine Ale

Terrapin Beer Co.
Athens, GA (USA)
10.8 ABV

C. Cloudy

H. Dark yellow

N. Strong sweetness, hints of banana, not as much honey as it claims

Dos: Ok, I think Super Turtle on the label just punched me in the mouth. I’m a big fan of comparing beers to other breweries, although my counterpart is the complete opposite, but this beer tastes like a Dogfish. If you’re a regular reader, then you know my love for the Dogfish Head beers, so anything that has a taste and/or smell like any of them, I’ll mention it. But this is definitely a strong beer. Ok, ya know what, I’m straying away from the beer itself, but I mean the label design is so awesome. The freakin turtle is wearing Cyclops glasses and holding a lighting bolt! That’s so great. Anyway, definitely a wheat beer, and as strong as it claims to be. Can taste the honey a lot better than you can smell it. Can’t wait to try the other beers from this new series. Score = 4.48

Fermentation: HOLLYYYY TURTLE. This was a beer that I have looked forward to since we picked it up. This was amazing. The attack is nothing but a banana smothered in honey. It calms down a bit with just the banana notes, and then finishes up with a sweet but not too sweet after taste. This beer is just like the quiet blond in class that when you take her home she is in your face and knows exactly what to do. THIS IS A SEXY BEER! If you don’t get your hands on this then that’s just a shame. After this one, look forward to more posts on the newer Terrapin beers. Score = 4.62

Overall = 4.55
