Golden with a large head. Smells hoppy, bready, with hints of flowers. Taste is bitter, hoppy, and soapy- not the greatest IPA I’ve had, but not a snoozer either. Mindblowing mouthfeel.

As i read the description of an american wheat, this beer matches the description. But an american wheat cannot be compared to a belgian or german, it’s just totally different. This american wheat tastes like a pilsener or lager, with some extra wheat notes. So to the beer: clear yellow color, short white head. Aroma of hops, some wheat. Taste is crisp indeed, bit bitter.

BottlePours a very dark brown, with a modest head that fades to nothing fairy quickly. Very light lacing as well. Aroma is a nice dark rasted grain, some licorice and purple graps as well. The flavor is...well...is not there. Some smokey chared taste, with a touch or molassas and malt, but it is very faint. most of it is after a breath or two passes over the tounge. It is smooth, creamy and a bit heavy and rich. Just lacks any real bold flavor. A little of that smokey, char-coal aftertaste and very little hops haning around. Good but not great.

Bottle. Deep amber color with a big white head. Spicey hop aroma with some citrus and malt backing. Clean and refreshing. There’s some spiciness to it along with a nice crispness. It’s good, balanced, and yet not all that remarkable.

A yellow beer with a very beutiful huge creamy head. The aroma is sweet fruity with notes of flowers, hops, and grass. The flavor contains notes of honey, wheat, and hints of citrus on a sweet background. The sweetness lingers as the bitterness sets in. The mouthfeel is sweet, soft, and very nice for a summer beer.

I have been drinking this beer for a few years now. As I opened the fridge to grab another bottle I realized that I have indeed been a doofus and have failed to rate this one yet. Understand that this is an established favorite I buy by the case to keep on hand. As such I cradled the little 7 oz brown bottle lovingly in my hands. The opener satisfied me with a gentle popping of the cap and lovely wafts of mist rose enticingly from the bottle. I poured this cloudy mahogany beauty into a nice glass with only the smallest of tan heads arising. The complex aroma of hops, caramel. molasses, and pear drifted lovingly to me as I brought the glass closer in my embrace. The taste - so thick - like a heavy syrup coated my tongue. At once I was washed over with a strong hop bitterness that lightly drifted in to sweet caramel and molasses. Again a hint of pear like acidity slipped into my subconscious senses. After lovingly swallowing this treasure the palate was warmed by a lingering caramel flavor that brought harmony and peace to the mouth.
