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.

Gold, thin white fizzy head. Nose held a sweet citrus and floral wheat-like tone. Light hoppy citrus flavors ride a clean earthy wheat note from start to finish. Light bodied, soft carbonation, crisp, light bitter finish. A good summer session brew as it is what it is...

Bottle courtesy of funknmilla. Pours gold with a decent white head. Smells of perfume, flowers, sweet wheat, citrus. Tastes of sweet wheat, touches of citrus, some sweet hints and an earthy finish. Nice!

From a bottle. Pours a light golden color. Very citrusy aroma. Sam for the taste. Flavors of lemon and citrusy hops. Very easy to drink.

12 oz bottle from a trade with dkachur. pours golden with an everlasting white head. aromas are all citrus hops. flavours are more like a wheat ale but with hops on the finish. almost no bitterness suggests very late hop addition by southern tier in brew. enjoyable but forgetable, even if it is my highest rated wheat ale.
