Get your fill of Akari Shogun. An American Wheat Ale dry hopped with Galaxy and Motueka for a lemon-lime, grapefruit rollup. Our house ale yeast with pilsner, wheat, and honey malt — it’s the beer for dominating middle August heat.

On tap at Small Bar. Pours a slightly cloudy gold with an orange hue and a near white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a great combination of grassy hops, light wheat and a touch of Mary Jane. Flavor has a similar combination of grass, marijuana and light wheat with a touch of underlying wheat.

Enjoyed on tap at Bad Apple in Chicago, IL. Appearance is a cloudy bright gold with a rich white head. Aroma of light wheat, very mild citrus. Taste goes down dry with wheat and citrus notes. Nothing too crazy about this one, nice to enjoy outside on a warm spring day.

22oz bomber shared by Brian. Great tropical hops and wheat aroma, really pleasant and reminiscent of FFF. Pretty much in the top tier of American Wheats. Mellow medium body, very refreshing and sessionable. Soft on the palate, really well executed. Delicious, world class.

On draught at Hopleaf. Hazed orange pour with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and herbal hops, plus some tropical fruits. Light-bodied with a wheaty character and notes of grapefruit, hops and malt. The finish is fruity with a short wheat aftertaste. Above average overall.
