Commercial Description:
Pour Hop Sun Summer Wheat Beer into a pint glass, give it a long whiff and you'll realize that this isn't your average wheat beer. Filtered to a golden clarity and dry-hopped to perfection, Hop Sun is a fantastic session ale in which flavors of wheat, barley and hops co-mingle to a refreshing and zesty conclusion. Hints of lemon and sweet malts waft to the fore as a touch of bitterness contributes to Hop Sun's bright finish. Enjoy Hop Sun all summer long as a perfect balance to your outdoor recreation. Summer never tasted so good.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a medium white head. Lovely fruity and grassy hoppy aroma with light wheaty notes. Citrussy hops, light caramel and exotic fruit in flavour. End up rather bitter. Refreshing and tasteful brew.

From Norm’s Beer and Wine. 10/01/2009 Wanted to have this summer beer before it got to into fall. Citrusy aroma. Flavor is citrusy wheat with a decent amount of hops for this style. Fix palate that I don’t love, maybe it’s been waiting to be drank too long. Overall a pretty good wehat ale, would definitely drink again.
