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 pale yellow colour with medium carbonation and small large bubble fizzy head. Aroma of citrus and Floral hops. Initial taste is citrus hops. Finishing with a minimal sweet malt and slightly bitter hop finishing on the palate. Light and refreshing its agreeable for a summer wheat.

Bottled. Crisp clear appearance w/ an odd hop nose. Taste is zesty yet sour. Off putting at first but strangely it grew on me. Will drink again.

As soon as I flipped the top, the aroma of hops filled the room and the beer poured easily into a tall glass. The first taste of the golden beer produced an interesting light flavor. enhanced with hops. I like the touch of malt to it and thought this would be a great picnic beer this summer.

A hoppy wheat beer? Nice twist on the style. Aroma was a faint hops and yeast mix. Pour was a light gold with a bushy white head. Kind of sweet with a little wheat and citrus runnin’ around there. A slight hoppy atertaste round this one out. Different.

I could drink this beer all day long. The flavor is a bit light, but it doesn’t detract from it, it adds to the drinkability, as it is light and elegant. The hops are definitely present, but don’t overpower it at all. Perfect balance. Very nice.

Draft at Vintage Estate Wine. Clear amber. Caramel sweet with wheat, lemon and a huge hoppy overtone. Tangy citrus texture. Very tasty.

12 oz bottle. Clear brass with a quickly fading white head. Wheat and lemon sherbet. A crisp, easy drinker. Light lemon bite with an oily creaminess. Bitters with sweet orange peel. Wheat-watermelon remains.
