12oz bottle. Pours hazy straw yellow with thick white head. Aroma is wheats, citrus and grassy hops. Flavor citrusy with wheat and hops. Finishes grainy with touch of yeast. Pretty good beer to enjoy on a hot summer day.

Draught @ Cole’s. Clear pale golden, some off-white head, and lace. Citrusy, grassy hops like the sun shining on orange blossoms. Thins out at the end, unfortunately. Is grainy in body. The aroma is more playful. Body is all grain and less hop and less fun but still, it’s sessionable and good.

12oz Bottle $8.99 6-Pack Route 6 Liquors Hop Sun pours a pours a brilliant straw yellow and surprisingly clear. Large carbonation bubbles explode to the surface where the two fingers worth of bubbly white head reside. It eventually falls to a skim coat but leaves streaky lacing down the glass. A lively summer brew that looks very refreshing. The thing I really enjoy about Hop Sun is the hop profile. Beautifully bright lemon and orange abound, both sweetened enough to add a candied aspect. I even get a squeeze or two of lime juice along the way. A slight touch of tangy wheat makes its way through quietly. Again, this smells very refreshing. The nose leads you right into the flavor you expected. Citric from front to back. Lemon is most abundant and shows itself throughout. Orange comes along mid-palate with a strong showing and a hint of lime comes through on the swallow. There’s just enough wheat twang to lay a solid foundation but the hops are certainly the showcase of this beer. An excellent summer sipper. The body is on the lighter side of medium with lively carbonation that awakens the tongue. Things move slow at first but when the lively carbonation kicks in it really gets a move on. Highly drinkable. One Hop Sun just isn’t enough. The low abv and refreshing qualities make this an ideal session brew for the summer. Another quality brew from Southern Tier. I’ve picked up a few of these this summer already and really enjoy it. The only downfall is that it disappears far too quickly. Hop Sun is hoppy wheat in the vein of Gumballhead. Although I prefer Gumballhead a little more this is another great beer of a hard to find sub-style. 6/5/08

An intersting beer. Golden pour with a mild hop and wheat aroma. It is a refreshing hot weather beer. Has some citrus notes and is light on the stomach. It was good.

From bottle. August Dayton Beer Tasting event - Favorite Summer Brews. Pours clear golden color very little head. Aroma and flavors are muted. Very disappoint effort from a very good brewery........
