Tapped: Philadelphia Philabuster

Philadelphia Philabuster replaced Philadelphia Walt Wit. Philabuster is the newest one from Philly Brewing. They have managed to find yet another style that is under-represented locally, and man that ain't easy. It's a wheat wine that clocks in at 9% ABV.

From our buddies at BeerAdvocate: Wheatwine - A somewhat recent and over-looked American strong ale, the Wheatwine (or Wheat Wine) is akin to a Barleywine in strength, but contains a large portion of wheat malt; upwards of 50%. The wheat provides a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. Color and bitterness varies.
