Notes

A American wheat beer with medium hopping and a fairly clean, neutral finish - a spritzy, refreshing warm-weather crowd-pleaser. Unlike German Hefe Weizen, American wheat beers have a bit more hop character and are fermented with a milder-tasting yeast, resulting in a more clean, neutral finish.
Like their German cousins, American wheat beers feature large proportions of malted wheat in the grain bill and are naturally a bit cloudy in appearance. Unlike German Hefe Weizen, though, American wheat beers have a bit more hop character and are fermented with a milder-tasting yeast, resulting in a more clean, neutral finish. With a spicy noble hop aroma and tart finish, it a spritzy, refreshing crowd-pleaser.
