On tap at the Barrel House. It pours a lightly hazed pale orange color with a white head. The aroma has wheat and hints of circus peanuts (the candy) and noticeable floral, spicy hops. The flavor has subtle spicy hefe yeast and a velvety mouthfeel. Strong floral hops. Medium bitterness, but high for the style. Not oppressive though. Some citrusy orange notes. A hoppy beer with nicely integrated hefe yeast notes. I wouldn’t have thought this idea could work, and it’s still not really a beer for me, but it was well executed anyway.
