Carried from the curb at Beermiscuous, my source for obscure Chicagoland ales. (And Oswego is outer Chi-land.)

But I'm going to suggest that Field Thresher is, in fact, a wheatwine (and will file with the BA authorities over this.)
First, the brewer's label declares this "American Wheatwine Ale" and they know they put close to 50% wheat in.
Second, the BA member who added this ale did not rate or review it... and I am the first.
Third, Field Thresher fits the BA description of Wheatwines at least twice as well as "Barleywine--American" but chiefly because the Hop Schedule is very balanced.

So now that I've finished the argument, let me review Field Thresher.
Striking Looks, a nice deep amber with a red tinge. Smells are good, but only slightly above average for the fruit I expect. But Tastes are that fruit medley I expect... and there is, in the finish, only enough hops to prevent sweetness from ruining the brew. In my mouth, this is soft... enough wheat is here for this to be a wheatwine.

My first from Oswego, I wish I'd had more. They have a malt-forward portfolio and, thus, have to think clearly about what they brew (instead of the default of "pile in the hops.") While Field Thresher is an accomplishment for a two year old, I next want to try their Saison (being an owner of farmland nearby.) I like how OBC is thoughtful about their beers. I wish the pandemic was less harsh on startups... but I expect OBC to make it through because they think about malts more.
