Point Nude Beach is the perfect summer pleasure. Available only during the warm months of summer, this lively and unfiltered wheat ale is well balanced using "au naturel" raw and red wheat, then delicately finished with Yakima hops. With a refreshing light flavor, Point Nude Beach is perfect while enjoying summer activities or just hanging out with friends. Clothing optional.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 2/5/2015. Pours very hazy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, light banana/clove, wheat, biscuit, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus hops, pale malt, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, light banana/clove, wheat, biscuit, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Minimal floral/grassy bitterness and slight wheat tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange zest, pear, apple, wheat, biscuit, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of citrus hops, pale malt, and fruity yeast flavors; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with very smooth and moderately creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very good pale wheat ale. All around good robustness, balance, and complexity of citrus hops, pale malt, and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

12oz bottle from Orchard Fresh, Orchard park, NY. A pale straw pour with a trace of white head; light grassy hop aroma; cream soda taste; and some decent hops to round it off. Best kept for the beach.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours deep golden with finger white head. Aroma is fruit (mostly orange), medium body, medium carbonation, and pretty good big bubble lacing. Taste is ripe orange and some grain.

Bottle offered @ gmellison. Got this bad boy in a trade with Adam. Thanks! Pours a hazy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Dusty, old hayloft, sort of citrusy nose. Fair amount of cardboard as well. Slightly acidic. Goopy malty flavor. Hops are pretty dull. Scroll past this garbage.

Light Orange, Bubbly Head disappears almost instantaneously, No Lacing. Bubbly, medium body. Wheat, orange, hint of clove. Fruity. It is almost like drinking Fanta. While it might not be very sophisticated it is refreshing and quite decent for what it is. It serves its purpose, good thirst quencher on a hot day.. Hey, i did have it at the beach and enjoyed it.
