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.

Pours a chill hazed medium yellow body with a small white head that leaves a few flecks of lacing. Subtle aroma of wheat and citrusy lemon. Refreshing light body and zippy carbonation support understated notes of wheat and bitter earthy and citrus hops. Average example of a pedestrian style but a good summer lawnmower beer.

Pours bright gold into a shaker. Fluffy bright white micro head leaves sinkholes and spiders as it slowly recedes. Crisp citrus and resin aromas. Sweet and slightly flat with a lasting bitter caramel finish.

clear gold color with some head. citrus/ lemon aroma. body is a little light, no chewy wheat feel. very mild wheat flavor, real easy to drink. hops are definitely present, taking the forefront of flavor. crisp and drinkable. someone put it perfectly- mild american wheat meets a mild pale ale

Tap at Clark’s, Syracuse. Crystal clear golden with very small white cap of a head. Aroma had some moderate wheat funkiness but was mostly fruity, predominantly apples but some citrus as well. There was a bit of sour apple in the taste as well, some light sweetness, no notable esters or any hop character whatsoever besides a slight bitterness at the finish. High carbonation. Didn’t do too much for me here. Rerate: bottled, better than I remember. Lemony nose, slight tartness, nice floral qualities.

Pours a super clear yellow golden color with a medium white head. Piney aroma with hints of citrus, wheat and lemon. Taste is light piney with hints of citrus hops and wheat. Very nice summer brew.
