Wet Hot American Wheat is named for it’s particularly “wet” mash and “hot” initial fermentation temperature. It is brewed and dry hopped with Centennial and Columbus hops and utilizes two different kinds of wheat malt, White wheat and Torrified wheat. This beer has an initial sweetness that is balanced by hop additions late in the boil.

Very rare or newer beer. On tap at mad mex. Smells a tad bit hoppy. Fairly clear pale yellow. first taste is hoppy BS fer sure. Yes, astringent aproaching after awhile. Certainly more than a typical apa, like a milder IPA. Not mouth coating like ipa. Bitterness builds during the session. To call this a wheat is pretty funny. Yes, but it ranks on the upper end of rudeness in wheat ale. Long bitter finish fer sure. Yes, difficult to enjoy for a lager lover .

Can. Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasts through out the beer and laces. Aroma has a nice combination of wheat, citrus and pine with a hint of resin backing. Flavor starts with a slightly sweet wheat note and a light citrus then grows in bitterness with pine and a hint of onion in the finish.

Sampled on draft at the House of 1000 Beers this beer poured a slightly hazy golden amber color with a medium sized creamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was butter, a bit of wheat and a bit of citrus. The flavor was butter, bitterness, an bit of citrus and a touch of bread. Long bitter butter and citrus finish. Medium body. Fairly awful.
