This is a unique beer, typically wheat beers are very light, examples would be white beers, or any hefeweizen beers (minus the banana flavor). This has the great wheat flavors however incorporates darker malts to give it more flavor and character. You’ll find slight caramel and roasted notes, with a slight fruitiness from the hops. Very sessionable beer.

Growlette share with my buddy Doug.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a dark red color with a sly transparency about it. One fingered white foamy head that dissipates immediately. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma starts off with some sweet wheat running into some caramel, toffee, and chocolate malts. Sly grassy sweet to bitter happiness.
The flavor leans sweet with a crisp grassy bitter edge to it. Chocolate and caramel malts seem to play nicely.
In the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems to hit just the way it should. Malts hit cleanly and smooth. Nothing cloying.
Overall, nice Amber ale. I dig everything that’s going on. I would have again.
