Bright, citrusy, & hoppy, this summertime ale salutes the flavor of the American hop & gives way to a smooth refreshing finish.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Slightly hazy with small white head. Aroma is floral hops, medium soapy body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is formal hops, herbal hops, and bitter finish.

Sample at The Ohio Taproom. Hazy golden-amber color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat, malt and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of citrus, toasted malt and grassy hops. The finish is fruity with a short mild hoppy aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

12 ounce bottle into weizen glass, no bottle dating. Pours hazy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger dense head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some nice spotty lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of orange, lemon zest, pepper, pine, wheat, floral, herbal, and light yeast spices. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and decent strength. Taste of orange zest, lemon, pine, wheat, pepper, bread, herbal, floral, and light yeast spices. Lingering notes of citrus, pine, wheat, herbal, and floral on the finish for a short bit. Nice balance of flavors with good hop complexity. No cloying flavors at all; fairly clean on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and lightly crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Hardly any alcohol noticed after the finish as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a very nice hoppy wheat ale. Nice balance of flavors with good hop presence; extremely smooth and easy to drink. Very enjoyable.

from a bottle, cant see it, social surroundings prevent a glass.. smell is a little strong and volatile tho its rated at less than 5%. first taste is rather strong but does not go over the top. yes, wheat ale it is because it has very few if any hef attributes, fer sure. second taste reveals some ale attributes but i think i’m getting used to it now as i appraoch half bottle. can’t see much but what i do see thru the bottle is no sediment and it appears quite clear. sometimes i think i feel a tart thing hidden in there but it fades every time i look fer it. finish is a tad medicinal for a wheat, this definatly makes it an ale, slightly rude attributes and all. som e metal in theh end.

Purchased at Hyde Park Wine & Spirits in Cincinnati, OH; enjoyed after my first day back at work at my new (old) job. Appearance a bright but cloudy gold with a frothy white head that sticks to the glass. Aroma of lemon citrus, wheat malts, hay, nice and apparent. Taste of hay, wheat, citrus/floral hops, a bit of spices, light to medium body, medium (i’d say 60%) carbonation, bready malts and bitterness pick up as it warms. All in all this is pretty good stuff, much better than the 312 we get here in Chicago! (or should I say 212 as 312’s now brewed in NY).
