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.

Sublime thistle, rose hip, and caramel nose. Clear amber, headless. Flavor is of rose hips suspended in honey with hints of dandelion. Decidedly more bitter flavor of lemon zest in the finish. Near perfect. Southern Tier hits another home run; I’m not even surprised anymore.

The color is beautiful yellow-golden and the head is creamy and white. The aroma has hoppy notes of citrus and fruit and a light sweetness. The flavor has a light to moderate sweetness and notes of mango, papaya, melon, citrus and the wheat gives softness. It ends on a citrussy, slightly bitter note. A nice beer with a lot of flavor in few %.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Golden body with oily head. Nose very hoppy with plenty of wheat. Lots of hops and wheat in the taste. Very crisp, cuts at the end with some citrus. Nicely done and very refreshing in the summer.

Flaske: Lidt skuffende ovenpå 422. Gul orange øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af humle med en smule hvede. Smagen er fin frisk men knap så humlet som navnet lægger op til. Lidt kedelig.

Bottle, bought @ Randers Vinhus.
Pours clear golden with a medium, frothy, white head. Lots of bubbles. Aroma is fruity and grassy hops mixed well with sweet wheat. Light carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is pleasantly hoppy, yet delightfully sweet. Rather dry, sweet wheat, apricot, apples and grass. Nice and fresh.
