Single via Appalachian.

Mojito glass at home. Pale hazy, lingering white-wash head.
Soapy, orange, onion, lemon, floral nose.
Drinks like a hazy. Extra citrus floral, clay, onion, with a little wheat itch & grass on the end.
Watery, carb falls fast, easy abv, thin for the style, mellow acid.

As good as it is, it's stlll just a wheat beer.

$18 for 500ml at Appalachian.

Hazy pale, subtle pour, quick fizz head.
Dusty, yeasty, slightly vanilla/nutty nose with a touch of sulfur.
Tart, juicy, twangy tropical: small peach & hint of guava, lots of residual yeast, white wine finish. Dry with a funky floral absolute end.
Creamy, tannic, lightly tart, soft but continuous carb.

Kinda okay. Too expensive at $18/500ml.
