Commercial Description:
“a galaxy of taste in every bottle” It is through the movement of the universe that life presents itself in transformation. It is in this spirit that we make ÜberSun, a tribute to the dynamic energy of summer. The alignment of wheat and barley through this hop-infused brew embodies the solar system itself... This may be a difficult task, but one our brewers revel in! They brew a galaxy of taste into every batch. ÜberSun is the ultimate experience that will challenge you with each sip. ÜberSun Imperial Summer Wheat Beer takes off where our Hop Sun finishes. Like it’s little brother, ÜberSun is clean and full of flavor, but don’t pull an Icarus– this is one big beer! Pour a glass or drink straight from the bottle, it’s meant to be consumed wisely with friends between summer solstice and autumnal equniox. 8.0% abv • 5ºL •

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, flowers, malt and fruits. Nice and bitter, yet still sweet.

65cl Bottle, won at a beer contest. Clear golden orange colour, dense white head. Aroma jumps at you after opening the bottle, very thick, very fruity, sweet, sugar, hoppy, just lovely. Flavour is sweet, fruity, with oranges, stonefruits and grapefruit, ending in a nice mellow bitter finish that lingers a bit. Fullbodied, soft creamy mouthfeel. Wellbalanced and very tasty beer. More!

Clear like apple juice not much head. Sweet fruity, soapy, lemon zest, wheat were all present in the aroma. Bitter finish with some band-aid taste. Medium carbonation. Overall just ok.

22 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head that laces the glass a little bit. Aroma of wheat, pale malts, floral hops, yeast, alcohol, and a fruitiness that I can’t place. The flavor is smooth and balanced, a nice blend of all of the above elements. Sweet, bitter, crisp, and refreshing. The alcohol is present but not overwhelming. Smooth, with a light-medium body and dry finish. Nice beer.

Tap. Pours a pale gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is fruit, with a bit of floral/pine hops. Taste is a weak fruit/malt/hop characteristic - a bit watery, to be honest. Just OK.

(Bottle at Pikkulintu - shared with TBone, thanks) Poured pale golden and clear with medium sized and white head. Aromas of hops, fruitiness and sweetness. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Tasted of sweetness, fruitiness, hops, bitterness and lightly pine. Sweet and bitter aftertaste.

Deep clear golden color, creamy white head, lace. Sticky barley and wheat aroma. Grassy hoppy, alcoholic, wheaty, some fruityness, but overall quite dry. Aftertaste has alcohol and light bitterness. Something similar to German weizenbocks but otherwise very American.
