This juicy, tropical-fruit-hop-loaded beer is just BURSTING with notes of peach, fresh melon, citrus, and passion fruit. And at a very "sessionable" 4.5%, you can really spend some quality time with it and not get hurt. (Session #07)

Probably my favorite beer from this brewer so far. Sampled on draft at the Map Room at Regent Square this beer poured a murky golden-tan color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was spicy, bready and had a moderate floral hop presence. The flavor was yeasty, wheaty, bready and very robust in body with a strong malt background to go with the light fruity and floral hops. There was a nice banana undertone. Wonderfully well balanced!

On tap at the Bocktown. I’m not much one for hopped brews even tho wheat is one of my favorites so I not sure what to expect here. Pour is like a slightly hazy wheat beer. Aroma is floral hops, not wheatlike. Nice head that is creamy with mixed size bubbles. Interesting mild hop flavor. Not a real hard hop impact, the wheat seems to be combining with the hops to make it more palatable. The hops do override the friendly wheat flavors to an extent. Hop and wheat is an odd combination on my tongue. I’m not sure of it’s purpose. Is it to be something different or are we trying to attract pale ale lovers to wheat? Finish is mild to medium hop bitterness that hangs for a while after the last drink. This comes across somewhat like a mild pale ale.
