Pour Hop Sun Summer Wheat Beer into a pint glass, give it a long whiff and you’ll realize that this isn’t your average wheat beer. Filtered to a golden clarity and dry-hopped to perfection, Hop Sun is a fantastic session ale in which flavors of wheat, barley and hops co-mingle to a refreshing and zesty conclusion. Hints of lemon and sweet malts waft to the fore as a touch of bitterness contributes to Hop Sun’s bright finish. Enjoy Hop Sun all summer long as a perfect balance to your outdoor recreation. Summer never tasted so good.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm) Golden colour with huge, foamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, apricots, lemon peel and fresh floral hops. Fruity taste with citrus, apricots and floral hops in the finish. Rather light body, with just a touch of sweetness. Not very complex, but a refreshing and summery wheat beer with a fresh hop character.

Pours clear dark golden color with white head. Aromas of wheat, citrus and bread. Wheat flavor with a good amount of hop bitterness fo a wheat beer. Light to medium body with lively carbonation. Crisp and refreshing but not alot of flavor.

draft at the Thirsty Camel in Ft Wayne - Lingering white head, aroma of wheat, pale malt, and citrus hops. The flavor is moderately bitter with citrus notes and a wheat malt profile. It’s light with a good, bitter finish. The brew reminds me of Gumballhead but doesn’t have quite as full of a flavor.

Bottle, 12oz. It pours an almost entirely clear golden body under a finger-thick white head. Wonderful hoppy aroma with citrus peel and pine cones. The malts also shines through, just enough to prevent it from going one-dimensional, and there’s also a peppery hint. Good bitterness in the mouth, citrus, pine cones and malts too. Quite dry, but not lacking sweetness either. Maybe a bit short on the finish, where it’s almost only bitterness that does the job. Medium body. Overall this is a tasteful and pleasant beer, one that I would very much like to slake my summer-time thirst with. 091220
