Commercial Description:
Pour Hop Sun Summer Wheat Beer into a pint glass, give it a long whiff and you'll realize that this isn't your average wheat beer. Filtered to a golden clarity and dry-hopped to perfection, Hop Sun is a fantastic session ale in which flavors of wheat, barley and hops co-mingle to a refreshing and zesty conclusion. Hints of lemon and sweet malts waft to the fore as a touch of bitterness contributes to Hop Sun's bright finish. Enjoy Hop Sun all summer long as a perfect balance to your outdoor recreation. Summer never tasted so good.

Bottled. Aroma has grass, citrus, some grain. Clear, copper coloured beer with a lasting, white head. The taste is hoppy, bit carbonated. It has citric/grassy hops, some malts. Bit on the light side. Uninteresting.

Bottle. Moderate aromas of grain and straw for the malt, lemon and grass for the hops, with hints of coriander, pineapple and medicine. Head is huge frothy/rocky, white with specks of sediment, and has good thick lacing and is fully lasting. Flavor starts moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, with a fizzy carbonation and a very dry finish. Interesting, bright aromas in the beginning, but the flavor is a bit flat.
