With a slightly hazey, straw colored body and a thick plume of white head, this deliciously Hoppy Wheat Ale will leave you craving another. A balanced aroma featuring peppery wheat aspects and fruity esters, prepares you for the mild hop bitterness that stands up against the chewy grain flavor from the rich imported malts.

4oz pour at the Northern Virginia BrewFest. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was some wheat notes, light floral character. Flavor was nice citrus hop with some light grassy character and a nice wheat character. Easy drinkin’.

Pizzeria Paradiso, Arlington, VA tap: Pours golden with a white head. Very nice hoppy aroma, with some citrus and herbs. Nice fresh hoppy taste. Not so much bitter as tangy. Malt backbone is really light and the hops steal the show here in a very nice and pleasant way.

Draft at Beer Run. Pours a clear pale golden color with a large creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of wheat, spice, citrus and spicy hops. The taste is tart citrus, spice, wheat. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, moderate lingering bitterness.

On tap at the vintage. So, today everythings hoppy? No? looks like pale lager. Typical newer b/o smelling thing, like most newer hops. A little co2 and the slight b/o thing carries over to the taste. Some dull hop biterness and a dull lemon thing as well on the palate. Perhaps a little better than a typical ipa thing, at least from a lager lover’s point of view.

Draft@ Roanoke VA Rare Beer Festival 2014: Brett and lemon zest nose. Hazy yellow, medium head. Tastes as it smells, light body. Solid bitterness. Crisp and refreshing. NOTE: This was poured at a festival from a box that was also pouring Victory’s D’town BIPA. I think the two lines may have been mismarked. Will re-rate.
