COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Does it get any sunnier than two people in love? Sunshine Wheat came into the world as Wedding Wheat, a beer Jeff brewed in celebration of his wedding to Kim. A filtered wheat beer, Sunshine Wheat swirls in the mouth with ripples of coriander and orange peel tartness, settling into a sea of honey and apple tones.

This beer started fresh and finished like garbage in the mouth. I can’t put my finger on it, but it had one of the worst finishes I have ever had. The beer tasted very refreshing just a little disappointed in the overall product.

Part of a six pack from Binnys, Chicago IL. Taste is lemon, grass, and sugar. Its a bit too sugary for my taste.

JoeMcPhee (5493) - Jackson Heights, NY, Nunavut, CANADA - AUG 21, 2010
Slightly hazy, very pale golden straw coloured pour. Nose is actually quite wheaty and grassy. Soft pale wheat malt. Fairly doughy palate. Lightly earthy hoppiness and a softly sweet finish. It’s pretty light and easy to drink, but it’s not really the sort of thing I go for.

onceblind (115) - Centennial, Colorado, USA - AUG 14, 2010
Clear straw-yellow with a thin white head, not much retention. Faint aroma of wheat and grains. Very light bodied with an unassertive array of flavors. A little bit of grain at the start and kiss of hops and yeast in the finish, some lemon in between and throughout. Bland and inoffensive.

leems (319) - Portland, Oregon, USA - AUG 12, 2010
Wheat, a little yeast, odd metallic finish. I didn’t find this refreshing which is what I would want in a wheat.

New Belgium’s Mothership Wit is a better wheat beer. This one is good, but, lacking a bit in sharpness

1010 (274) - Marysville, Ohio, USA - JUL 24, 2010
pours a golden color with a carbonated white head. Taste of spices and wheat, but comes off a little flat. not the best wheat ale out there. 12 oz. bottle
