This was another close-to-out-of-date one that I grabbed off the bargain bin at my local beer store. The wheat ale part is not too remarkable, a bit heavier of a drink than most wheat ales I've had. The gooseberry adds a little hint of extra flavor, but not a whole lot. And I'm not sure exactly what they used for the gooseberry flavor, but it also has a tiny hint of the cough syrupy taste that the Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier has. Although that went away fairly quickly, so it may have just been an aroma that dissipated fairly quickly.
Not a bad drink for cold weather, probably something I'd want to drink in the fall or early winter. And since we just had a bit of a cold late-winter snap here (and I was just outside in it), it seems appropriate tonight.
