Common descriptors are
"The Palmetto Brewery “Huger Street Wheat” is a downtown Charleston version (not bland and bubbly) of an American Wheat Pale Ale. When you pour the Huger Street Wheat you instantly notice the bodacious head. The head is very inviting and releases a sneak peak to the complexity beneath. Approach this beer with an open mind and clear sinuses!  Close your eyes and inhale deeply. Reminiscent of a walk in the garden, you’ll easily identify the floral notes of Confederate Jasmine and lowcountry pine straw. Just kidding, these are the aromas given to us by the generous helping of Chinook Hops. You’ll also get the subtle waft of spices and flowers (mysterious and thought provoking images provided by the Crystal Hops).Take a deep soulful drink of this golden liquid. Breathe out and taste the grapefruit linger but not get bitter, as a burst of tropical fruit arrives on the scene. The sweet caramel wheat malt backbone and peppery clean finish of the rye support the aggressive late hop addition of Centennial and Galaxy Hops."
