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 dark, clear gold with a nice white head. The aroma is light, flowery hops with slight dry maltiness. The flavor is nicely malty, some wheatiness and a pleasantly light hoppiness in the finish. Tastes kind of like a decent pilsner. I’d drink it again.

12 oz. bottle via trade with shadey - Pours a golden color with a small white head. Nice lacing. Has a light pine, ester aroma. Has a thin, bitter hop and wheat flavor. Light body, easy drinking beer. Thanks Shane.

Sampled at the beer fest in Adamstown Pa. Pours golden with no head. Aroma of hops and caramel. The flavor is thin, pine, and bitter. Wasn’t impressed.

Wonderful aroma of caramel, pine resin, pineapple and oranges. This is, by far, Hop Sun’s greatest aspect however as appearance is pretty plain... golden color with no head to speak of. Flavor is a bit watery... the piney aspects of the hopping come through nicely, though. The crisp fruit promised in the aroma is just not there. It’s not bad or anything, just that the aroma promised a bit more than it delivered.

Pours yellow/gold, with a white head. Citrusy hops dominate the aroma. Flavors are hops, (citrus, and pine), some sugar/caramel, and wheat. Thanks to shadey for this bottle.

Tap at Hop Devil Grill. Pale golden beer with a thick sticky white head. Aroma is nicely hoppy, pine and lemon citrus. Some light wheaty malts backing it up. Flavour is well hopped as well, with citrus and pine. Very lean pale malts in back. Light bodied, but very refreshing. Good hoppy finish. A beer that summer was made for. Very well-executed... I wish we had more beers that were under 5% and tasty. Nice brew.

Clear golden yellow, with very thin bubbly white head. The aroma is not very hoppy, instead it has a sweet citrusy character. Pleasant amount, not overpowering, hoppiness, with more of the citrus from the aroma. Not as crisp as it could be, taste lingers, leaving a slight aftertast. Pretty good, and easy to drink.

Slightly hazy light amber body with a small frothy white head. Sweet floral hop aroma on a light caramel background. Sweet floral hops flavor, with some wheat in the end with just a touch of caramel.
