In Germany, this would definitely not be considered a beer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot Still... I'm a pretty big fan of Dogfish as well, so I give them credit for trying something new.

> In Germany, this would definitely not be considered a beer. Germany may be a more diverse place than you're aware. The Reignheitsgebot originated in Bavaria and was a condition of the German unification in 1871. However, many areas of Germany have long traditions of non-Reignheitsgebot beers, for example, wheat beers and spiced beers in northern Germany.
