Wheat ale brewed with West Coast hops

Four types of West Coast hops (Chinook, Citra, Centennial and Zeus) add bold notes of pine and juicy grapefruit to this deep golden wheat ale, for a crisp flavor that’s a refreshing escape from winter’s lingering chill.

bottle, rated last January - Lightly hazy gold pour. Smells of wheat and citrus accented hops. It's light to moderately bitter with a light body. Wheat, yeast, some fruit. It's alright.

355ml bottle. Slightly milky, yellow-ish golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly ephemeral, citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, (instant) lemon tea, minimally wheaty, pale and caramel malty background. Taste is citrusy hoppy, minimally sweet pale, caramel and wheat malty, hints of lemon, a bready and minimally doughy touch; full body, smooth and soft, silky palate.

Super hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of grass and a mellow funky and very herbal quality with some sweetness as well. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and wheatie flavour with some sweetness noticeable from honey and some fruits and a dose of big hops and bitterness near the end. Aftertaste shows some robustness from the wheat and the hops and has a good sweet flavour and a smooth, but fruity finish. Overall, a nice and rich beer with a lot of flavour and a funky yet herbal flavour that shows relatively well. Good, not great and a nice ’new’ example of a wheat ale. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe’s in Washington (West End), D.C. on 11-March-2017 for US$1,59 sampled in my hotel room in Columbia, Maryland on 18-April-2017.

Draught at some shitty bar in Malden, 2/21/17.
When in Rome....A strange, rather hazy, almost cloudy, pale-bronze body is topped by a sizable white head showing moderate retention.
The nose is very reserved with light pepper, wintergreen, dry nectarine and hints of peach and grapefruit. Malts show just a touch of honey and bread. It’s a bit difficult to tell since at bars that have this on draught, they serve it in a frosted fucking mug. Anyways, the aroma neither deteriorates nor improves much with warming.
In the mouth it’s again very mild, reserved and low on flavor, though not unpleasant at all. Lots of wheat softness, some bread, light caramel and honey and finally light tangerine, wintergreen and just a touch of pineapple. Soft texture, very carbonated, low bitterness and maltiness, no alcohol or flaw.
