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.

Also known as Organic Cattail Peak Wheat Beer.

Not bad. Pours out a cloudy yellow color with a smaller white head. Aroma is full of wheat, floral, and a slight bit of spice. Flavor is the same with a slight citus finish to it.

On tap at Barley’s, Asheville. Very cloudy dark gold, kinda like New Orleans Saints Gold. Nice ’wheaty" aroma, with some floral notes. Flavor is similiarly wheaty, with hints of pepper and smone floral notes here, as well. Crisp finish. Surprisingly full bodied, too.

12oz bottle from trade with nearbeer. Thanks! Poured a slightly hazy golden-yellow color. The head was white and reduced to a thin film after about a minute. No significant lace. Smelled pretty much like a standard American wheat; citrus (mostly lemon/lime), biscuity malt, and a hint of yeasty dough. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. The chalky mouth feel imparted a bit of character. I tasted yeasty bread dough, fresh cereal grain, a touch of honey, and a squeeze of lemon. I assume the slight, dry/bitter note toward the end came from the rye, which I was otherwise unable to detect. Pretty good. Very refreshing, as advertised.

Pours a very pale straw color from 12 oz bottle. Aroma of light wheats, a bit of yeast, ever so slightly spiced. Formed small white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Flavour was of clean, refreshing BEER. Yeah, thats right, beer, with a slight wheat flavour to it. Not a knock out, but could be great for hot summer days while mowing the lawn.

Hazy orange pour with a thin, fizzy off-white head and a single line of lace. Floral aroma. Thin bodied and kinda boring. slightly bitter finish

pale yellow with subtle head, pale aroma, wheat background, noticiable spice in back of palate and finish, refreshing for the summer, but light on complexity.

Bottle thanks to OldStyleCubFan (summer santa). This sure is a summer beer, a refreshing wheat beer with almost no flavor. Golden orange color with fluffy head. Aroma of malts and citrus. Taste is of malts and watery rye. It is smooth with little to no carbonation. nice to have tried this beer, thanks OldStyle.

12 oz bottle from Emacgee. Hazy golden in color with a small off white head. Aroma of wheat, spice and citrus. Taste is tangy wheat, some spice, citrus, with a medium body. Very light bitterness in the finish. clean and not too bad.
