Commercial Description:
Our take on the classic summer wheat beer...it’s a light, crisp ale for mowing lawns, hitting lazy fly balls and communing with nature. Glowing like brilliant rays of golden sun, its malty sweetness finishes tart and crisp. Hocus Pocus is best appreciated with a wedge of orange. Offered as a sacrifice to cloudless days.

Slightly hazy orange with quickly dissipating head. Sweet aroma, but also a bit of hoppy bite lurking. Taste is muted tartness, high-quality cardboard, and is fairly watery. Mild bitter/sour aftertaste.

Lightly sweet and golden with some citrus flavor and spice. Refreshing, but thin. Still a good American wheat.

12oz bottle labeled best by the end of November. Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with a larger sized white head. Some small floaters. Aromas of yeast, lemons, and some wheat. Tastes of lemons, wheat, light yeast, and a touch of a honey sweetness to it. Thinner and somewhat lively body.

This beer rocks. It’s a little on the thin side. It’s not hopped way up. It’s not very malty. It’s just a really good, light summer brew with a touch of honey in the otherwise crisp finish. Quite possibly the USA’s best lawnmower beer... with the exception of DogFish Head’s Lawnmower Light.
