Commercial Description:
This is a pale wheat that's hopped up. No, not paler that a wheat -- it's a wheat that also includes pale malt, for a slightly maltier wheat that includes a ton of hops. Consider it a spring / summer ale for all you hopheads!

Cloudy orange color with a small beige head. Mild aroma of grapefruit hops. Flavor is very hoppy and also grapefruit. Finish is dry and bitter. Very good.

Had this on tap at the Smokehouse. Fresh nose of hops spice & light resin, wheat & grass, flowers as the brew warms; and I swear some honeydew is included. Different, I like it. The brew is sparkling hazy hondy amber with melon highlights. The off-white creamy head is mostly diminishing and leaves behind a light sheet of lace. The front is balanced to bitter, the middle has a slight acidic tang. The toasty finish is floral with a respectable amount of IBU’s. The medium body is dry & soft, the finish is very astringent. Definitely my favorite american wheat to date.

Poured a cloudy brownish color with a little orangish hue. Aroma was pretty hoppy with not much malt coming through. This really seemed like an IPA and not a wheat at all. Reminded me of gumballhead in that the malt and wheat profile was not all that noticable. I loved the amarillo with this though. A great beer from barleys.

On tap at the Smokehouse: Poured a hazy copper color with a white head. Aroma, pale malts, citrus, some bready notes. Flavor, light wheats, some pale malts, citrus and herbal hops on the finish. Nice bitterness. Very nice stuff.
