Commercial Description:
“a galaxy of taste in every bottle” It is through the movement of the universe that life presents itself in transformation. It is in this spirit that we make ÜberSun, a tribute to the dynamic energy of summer. The alignment of wheat and barley through this hop-infused brew embodies the solar system itself... This may be a difficult task, but one our brewers revel in! They brew a galaxy of taste into every batch. ÜberSun is the ultimate experience that will challenge you with each sip. ÜberSun Imperial Summer Wheat Beer takes off where our Hop Sun finishes. Like it’s little brother, ÜberSun is clean and full of flavor, but don’t pull an Icarus– this is one big beer! Pour a glass or drink straight from the bottle, it’s meant to be consumed wisely with friends between summer solstice and autumnal equniox. 8.0% abv • 5ºL •

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear golden with a dense and creamy off-white head. Aroma of fruit, hops and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with sweet malts and fruit and a very solid hop bite. Solid but unrefined. 210908

Clean glassy yellow body with a thick white head. Aroma is heavy hop happiness. The wheat helps bring out some lemony notes, as well as the usual citrus floral notes. The nice thing about this is that it doesn’t hit you with all the hops your mouth can handle, its got a great smoothness and a real solid viscous mouthfeel.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. The aroma is crystal malt, citrus hops, wheat grass, and a hint of spice. The flavor has a nice amount of moderately sweet malt with a good dose of citrus hops to balance things out. There is a hint of spices with the finish being just a little bit bitter. This is not my favorite ST beer by a long shot, but it isn’t a bad beer.
