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.

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

poured into a pint glass as i was instructed. clear yellow, thick white head. very strong aroma that i can rate without even getting near the glass. flowery hoppy aroma, some spices in there too, faint sweetness perhaps from malts beneath the strong flowery aroma. pretty nice i must say. flavor is flowery hoppy, faint wheaty, bitterness from hops, i find the wheat matching the strong hops much better than i thought it would, and i really like this flavor. apart from the flowery note i get some faint sweet thing, faint sugary sweet. mouthfeel is thick and smooth. Heavily underrated imo.
