Lips of Faith

New Belgium Brewery, maker of such mundane fare as Flat Tire and Amber Ale, has several small batch offerings that are kinda hard to find. One series is for some reason called Lips of Faith and one of the beers in that series is a Dunkel Weiss, a dark wheat beer. Very dark, malty, not a lot of head, with hints of black peppercorn and fruit on the finish. 9 percent ABV and only available in 24oz bombers.
Dark wheats are sort of hard to come by. Gordon Biersch has a good one they offer sometimes in their brewpubs but don't bottle. If your only experience with wheats is those insipid coriander and citrus infused Hefewiezens, this one is worth looking for. Splitting one this evening with the spouse. Very tasty. I'm going to buy a case.
