Commercial Description:
Made with 40% malted Red Wheat, which provides a fatter, nuttier character than Winter Wheat (white). Of course it wouldn't be HopTown if it didn't include plenty of hops. In addition, to help balance the bigger body, we use an aggressive yeast strain to assist in drying out the beer, thus creating the illusion of more hops then are actually present.

Bottle poured a hazy gold with a white head. Aromas of biscuit and citrus. Palate is crisp and clean. Flavors of biscuits and citrus with big hop flavor for a wheat beer. A very refreshing summer slammer.

Hop and wheat nose with a balance of yeasty acidity and cloves. Very unusual beer, never had anything like it. Soft and clean mouthfeel with some upfront bitterness. Clean and wheat forward finish with a final acidity.

tap@hopyard:Lemon skunky aroma. Very mild. Dark thick yellow color and skunky bitter flavor with hardly any wheat hints. This beer was just listed as HopTown Hefeweizen on the menu.
