Sample from growler at the Beers from the Bikes Villes tasting on 11/08/2013. First of all, awesome name so let’s just get that out of the way. The beer pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a medium foamy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat, hops and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of fruity wheat, toasted malts and hops. The finish is mildly bitter with a berry and hops aftertaste. Pretty good hoppy Wheat Ale overall.
