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 •

Pours clear amber with a medium white head. Good crisp hop spice and citrus aroma that overshadow the wheat. Very dynamic and rich taste, medium body, smooth mellow carbonation

from crackedkettle.com - pours a hazy blond colour with a poor foam left; aroma of pear and wheat with a fair presence of spices and esters; quite oily mouthfeel, full-bodied, some sweetness in the background; a hint of acidity and a solid bitterness; the finish is bitter and slightly salty, very fruity and with warming alcohol touch - very interesting

A: To be honest I don’t know. I drank this baby right from the bottle as I bobbed in the surf of the Atlantic Ocean. S: Wow for a summer wheat brew there are sure a lot of hops noted in this one. There is a wonderful citrus piney aroma. There is a slight bit of wheatyness and yeast, but the hops rule here. T: Wow what a summer brew. This reminds me of a 3 Floyd’s brew. What Southern Tier has done is create a solid summer wheat brew and then hop the shit out of it. Wonderful man. M: Medium bodied with a wonderful finish.

American strong ale is the ’catch all’ for Wheat wine....I guess. I really good beer. I have nothing to compare it to, which I guess is a omage to Southern Tier. So, standing alone....I like it.

Pours out a rich golden color with an almost non existent head. Aroma has notes of dark fruit, citrus, grass, grain and a little honey. Light, semi sweet wheat flavors with some notes of grain and a slight bitter hop character. Body is medium-light with a smooth lasting finish that carries the wheat sweetness well.

Pour is clear golden straw with a small white head that recedes somewhat slowly. Aroma is lemony citrus, orange, straw, grass, resin, and some nasal warming booze. Aroma is primarily hop oriented with a very light sweet malt note. Flavor is far sweeter than the aroma would suggest. Heather, hay, straw, caramel, bread, and large amounts of citrus hop dominate the flavor. Palate is a bit thin- quite smooth and slippery though. Finish is semi-boozy, crisp, and clean. Very unique take on the style.

Dark gold pour with with a small white head. Aroma holds a nice hop character, with notes of earth, grapefruit, and orange zest. Also some definite booze presence in the smell, and a bit of grain. Wheat character definitely comes out in the flavor, along with many of the aforementioned hop characteristics. Some caramel and alcohol presence. Pretty nice combination of sweetness and earthy and herbal hops, but lacks a certain distinctiveness. Palate is pretty light overall, goes down smoothly, though the 8% is noticeable. Solid brew overall.
