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 •

From a bottle poured a golden color with a good amount of head. Nice light citrusy sweet flavor with a quick finish.

Bomber. Poured clear brighter golden with a dusting and light ring of white head. The aroma picked up honey and pale malt sweetness laced with some toasted banana and spicy grapefruit.. aged hops and a little oxidation right at the back.. solid stuff. The flavor was on the warm side with primarily pale malts at the core.. floral and grapefruit hoppage was high surrounding.. banana, black pepper, and spicy clove notes also made a presence.. finished long and spicy. Medium-bodied on the palate and syrupy on the back.. felt OK. Solid brew overall.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 22oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a clear, bright golden yellow colored body with some visible streams of carbonation and a creamy white head. The head is average in size and has good retention. It also makes nice lacing on the glass. Smell: The aroma has a strong hop profile that brings nice citrusy grapefruit notes over a sweet wheat and lightly toasted grain. Taste/Mouth feel: It has nice citrusy hops with mild bitterness and light spice that mix with sweet lightly toasted gain and wheat flavors. A sweet grainy and very mellow alcohol gives some warmth and sophistication. It finishes clean with a slight hop presence. The palate has a very smooth texture with soft yet active carbonation with in a medium to full body. Notes: This beer brings great flavors with good balance and complexity.

Clear honey gold with a huge head that takes forever to dissipate. It settles unevenly with an appearance of the top of clouds as you fly through them. Grapefruit hops dominate the nose with some pine and caramel thrown in. Flavor is pretty much the same with hops dominating. Wheat flavors are almost completely buried. This could have passed as an IIPA it is so hop dominated.
