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.

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.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber-gold with a small foamy white head. Crisp sweet hoppy aroma, with citrus, grass, malt. Taste starts crisp, with citrus and yeast, then picks up a bit of hoppy bitterness. Lingering light hops and yeast bitterness that ends a bit watery. Decent.

Medium, just yellowish head over fine-carbonated yellow-golden beer. Mango, lytchee, rosewater and other exotic fruit, C-hops. Nice. Aromatic hopbitterness, pretty dry, and tasty for a light beer. Again rosewater, but not at all sweet. Light body, but nowhere empty. Slickness is less than expected from a wheatbeer; bit velvety all the same. Very nice, light, refreshing hopbeer. I’m surprised about the lack of wheatcharacteristics.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with an inch of head. Smells of sweet grasses, light pine, light tropical fruits... Nice, smooth blend of lemon, pepper, hops, and some other fruitines sin there. Not a huge fan of wheat ales, but this is better than most.

Golden with a small white head. Floral and tropical fruit aroma. Grainy wheat and citrus flavour, quite bitter, but too grainy to be a really good quencher.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Light malty and heavy hoppy aroma. Strong pine notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Again pine is dominating. IPA-ish. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. Not much wheat thought.
