Commercial Description:
An invigorating wheat beer with a hint of rye and the tang and hue of hibiscus, this refreshing brew is as cool as the breeze that blows down from Mount Mitchell to Cattail Peak. Enjoy this delicious creation when the hottest summer day demands the best of the Blue Ridge.

Big thanks to ROBORB for the bonused bottle!
Pours a rich cloudy, thick yellowish color with a short lived white head. Smell is wheaty with some lemony citrus notes and a touch of yeastiness. Taste is quite wheaty, slightly creamy with a lemony brightness and some light spicing from the yeast. Some light bitterness and metallic notes. Medium to slightly rich bodied and soft to medium carbonation. Solid wheat beer and refreshing. Thanks again Rob!

Pours gold and hazy with a white head. Smells of wheat and citrus. Tastes of wheat and spice with some bitter hints on the finish. Decent.

Pretty decent wheat. Had this last night while playing some Mario Kart with Snee and Eric. Good enough to pick up a sixer next summer.

Sunny, lemony yeast aroma. Very cloudy tan gold. Mouthy, crisp, strongly bitter.

Pours a transparent bright pale golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet malted wheat and a hint of lemony citrus. Body starts with decent fullness and wheaty sweetness with some grainy husky character and earthy bittering hops before a cleaner, smooth bittersweet finish. A decent American-style wheat beer.

12 oz. bottle from OldGrowth, thanks Tom. no floaties, but the pour is a very cloudy pale yellow with a very short-lived white head, almost no lacing. floral, spicy aroma of clove, flowers and just a hint of banana. nothing spectacular going on with the flavor, yet this is very drinkable. a light & refreshing wheat.

Appearance: Hazy, yellow body with a full inch of creamy, white head. Scattered lacing on the way down. Smell: Malted wheat nose with light notes of flowers, sweetened lemon, and spice. Taste: Sweetish, tangy malted wheat with a very light touch of honey. Gentle trace of citrus. Floral, spicy hops with a restrained bitterness. Begins to develop a slight graininess. Finishes quite crisp. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: A fine, crisp, easy drinking wheat ale if that’s the thing you’re looking for.

small fizzy white (quickly and almost fully dissapating) head into murky orange body with some lacing present. aromas of light grass, some citrus and some spices. flavor is initially bittersweet but finishes more bitter decently long finish duration. above average carbonation. watery texture. okay wheat.
