This unique surprise cross-pollinates the classic American wheat beer with an American Pale Ale. What grows next is a fruitfully unfiltered union with a delightful hop aroma, a pleasant citrus hop flavor, and a beautifully balanced finish that leaves other ales hoppy green with springtime envy.

Magic Hat Brewery, VT growler ($10): Pours an orange color with a creamy white head. Aroma is grapefruit hops, with a wheat malt backbone. In honesty though, it would be hard for me to tell that this a wheat beer. I suppose that the palate is somewhat wheaty, as it is kind of soft. Somewhat bitter, but really, really citrusy. I think that this is better than most people give it credit for, even if it is not a particularly interesting beer.

Pours a pale peach-color, with a nice thick head. Aroma of hops. Flavor is very hoppy with citrus notes to it. A nice background sweetness is present. This is a very pleasing, full-flavored IPA with very little of a wheat beer’s sourness or sour fruit flavors.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spotted sheets to coat surface. Wheat and citrus aromas. Medium bodied with sweet yeast and wheat upfront turning to resin and grapefruit in the lasting finish.

Mäßig hopfiger Antrunk, im Mittelteil dezent herb, wenig aromatisch, sehr trocken. Zum Ende deutlich herber, weiterhin nur wenig intensiv. Langweilig. 8/8/7/7/12/7
