Commercial Description:
Is a unique, all-natural style of beer that currently falls under the category of a Specialty Ale. In other words, there is no true category for this beer... Characterized by its distinctive Mount Hood hop aroma and beautiful blonde color, Liquid Sunshine™ is brewed at a low temperature to create a nice lite dry finish. Using only the finest 2-row malted barley, wheat, rye, and great northwestern grown hops, this combination results in a clean, crisp, and uniquely refreshing beer.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of citrus and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and citrus, leading to a dry and bitter finish. The body is on the light side.

Bottled at Kennedy’s San Francisco. Cloudy golden, firm head. Aroma of vanillaand orange. Sweet with clean wheat malt character. Quite hoppy with notes of buckwheat and orange. Surprisingly hoppy with a bitterness that seem unbalanced and almost inky.

Almost a decade ago, this beer was available in DC (at least at the Brickskeller), and I remember liking it, so I was delighted to come across it again, to see where my perceptions have taken me. Lightly hazed straw body topped by big white head. Aroma is medium sweet, lemon, grassy, grapefruit, light rye. Taste is mild sweet, grapefruit, grassy, some lemon tartness. Medium body, fairly dry finish. Quite bitter for the style, and fairly unbalanced. Still, as often is the case, sometimes that is a good thing.
