Commercial Description:
This is a pale wheat that's hopped up. No, not paler that a wheat -- it's a wheat that also includes pale malt, for a slightly maltier wheat that includes a ton of hops. Consider it a spring / summer ale for all you hopheads!

Draft at BMRAF 08. Poured hazy copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus earthy hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.

Enjoyed at The Smokehose location. A hoppy wheat, with a little head and lots of lace. Aroma was nice, bubblegum and a bit of wheat. Orangey taste that the brewmaster told our group was neither flavouring nor hops. Above average carbonation, I think the only one of the product line.

Fresh growler courtesy of moejuck. Pours orangey copper with a white head. Smells of perfume, oranges, pine, some caramel. Tastes hoppy with lots of resiny notes. This is much more hoppy than I was expecting and I don’t see where the American wheat angle comes in on this one.

On Firkin at the Smokehouse - Pours cloudy amber with a short offwhite head. Aromas of straight amarillo hops and a good dose of them too.. Much lemon and orange in the aroma. Flavor is very much a dose of citrus too. Lots of lemon and orange, but behind that I could definitely find some balance in the wheat. Just a touch of bannana there. And some grainy notes. Pleasant crisp and clean palate. An easy drinker for sure and it complimented my Walleye very well.

Firkin version at Barley’s 6th Annual Mini RAF (04/26/08): The beer pours a cloudy dark orange color with a thin off-white head that fizzes away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and pine. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with flavors of hops, pine and malt. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitterness. Decent overall.
