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.

Opaque gold pour with a firm white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Strong floral hops nose. Taste follows the nose. Crisp mouthfeel. Softer bitterness. The flavor is more like a beginner’s APA than a wheat ale.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is faintly catty, cotton candy, altogether nearly nonexistent. Pours hazy orange with a quickly collapsing off-white head. Taste is lightly dry and bitter with flavors of wheat, faint grassy hops. Pretty boring, but it doesn’t taste bad. Probably the most boring seasonal they’ve ever put out. I will never figure out why they got rid of Noble Pils as their spring seasonal. At least I can get it in the variety pack.

I've had this beer before, though it was under another psyedeym. The smell is repugnant.

Weird, weird, weird...buttery and slack, mildly bitter but not representing either wheat ales or West Coast hops in a very positive light. Slight hefe tones, modest pine or Pine-Sol (take your pick), and a surprisingly creamy finish. What can I say. It’s a beer.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a decent floral hop with some minor grapefruit notes. Flavor is a wheat malt with some lingering bitterness. More hop flavor comes out after the swalllow than after you first take a sip. Kind of devolves into a regular old wheat beer quickly.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear yellow color with a medium white head. A light lemon and toast nose. The flavor is more lemons, light toast, sweet citrus, orange juice. Decent. The malty earthy wheat does add some nice heft and balance.

Bottle from the mixed 12 pack from country 3 Corners. slightly hazy light golden color with a decent but short lived wispy white head. Earthy spicy bready maltinesss with a solid shot of lemony citrus hops. Pretty solid hoppy wheat beer.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, light gold with a puffy white head. Grass, lemon, wheat aroma. Wheat malt, lemon, citrus flavour. Mild piney, spicy hops. More of an APA.....light body, but pretty satisfying.
