I just made a maple wheat. Its one amazing beer! Found this recipe in a book I have "Clone Brews". This beer is very easy to drink, even at 8.5%. Beautiful dark orange color, head is always there, nice medium body, at first taste you smell the maple syrup as well as taste it, not too strong at all. Minimal bitterness. Finishes very nicely! Overall clean flavor.
