Commercial Description:
An invigorating wheat beer with a hint of rye and the tang and hue of hibiscus, this refreshing brew is as cool as the breeze that blows down from Mount Mitchell to Cattail Peak. Enjoy this delicious creation when the hottest summer day demands the best of the Blue Ridge.

12 oz. bottle from OldGrowth, thanks Tom. no floaties, but the pour is a very cloudy pale yellow with a very short-lived white head, almost no lacing. floral, spicy aroma of clove, flowers and just a hint of banana. nothing spectacular going on with the flavor, yet this is very drinkable. a light & refreshing wheat.

TN tasting at maniac’s. Pours a only slightly hazy yellow with fair white big bubble head. Aroma is sweet wheat with hardly any citrus. Flavor is stale hops and a little bitterness in the finish. Didn’t actually care for this, maybe it’s the rye. I guess I just hate rye....

On tap at Barleys. Cloudy yellow orange thin creamy white head. Wehaty aroma, some slight citrus. Tastes yeast spicy with a smooth wheat body and lemon zest.

Big thanks to ROBORB for the bonused bottle&#033; <br /> Pours a rich cloudy, thick yellowish color with a short lived white head. Smell is wheaty with some lemony citrus notes and a touch of yeastiness. Taste is quite wheaty, slightly creamy with a lemony brightness and some light spicing from the yeast. Some light bitterness and metallic notes. Medium to slightly rich bodied and soft to medium carbonation. Solid wheat beer and refreshing. Thanks again Rob&#033;

Pours gold and hazy with a white head. Smells of wheat and citrus. Tastes of wheat and spice with some bitter hints on the finish. Decent.

Pretty decent wheat. Had this last night while playing some Mario Kart with Snee and Eric. Good enough to pick up a sixer next summer.
