A uniquely aromatic and refreshing beer, Park blends pilsner malt and pale wheat with Citra hops to create a modern interpretation on the witbier style. Bière de garde yeast elevate Park’s tart, grapefruit flavors, yielding a fresh yet dry finish to this single hopped design. Park’s pale sunshine color and clean flavor make this the perfect beer to enjoy on a picnic blanket or around the campfire.

Bright gold/straw yellow body with very slight haze. Thin bubbly white head that quicky recedes to the edge of the glass. Lots of aroma - grassy, citrusy orange zest, tropical light mango, biscuity. Brief sweet malty profile that pairs well with the citra hop character. Thin wheat beer feel. Very crisp and drying finish. Moderate carbonation. Easy drinking sessionable brew.

Pours a golden straw. Bursts upward with a fluffy white head. Had to slow the pour down. Fluffy foam clings to the rim after a minute or so and then sinks in the middle. Kind of a sunken caldera of foam.
Notes of pear, citrus, floral tropical notes akin to plumeria flowers. Overall, it's bright.
Flavor is a smooth ride of citrus notes, mainly floral lemon, gentle hints of pepper, tapering sweetness, and a nuanced bitterness that barely comes through at the end.
Mouthfeel is on the liter side, as expected. But there is a soft creaminess that comes through. Carbonation is lite.

12 oz can into a pint glass
L: Pours a hazy light gold with a frothy 2-finger head with decent retention but not much lacing.
S: Light tropical and floral hops, but not very strong.
T/F: Nice balanced flavor, with a mix of floral hops. Fairly light mouthfeel and not much bitterness.
O: This is a nice summer beer. I'm not much of wheat beer fan, but this is a good combination of hops and wheat, and fairly light and refreshing. The 4.7% ABV helps it go down easy.

12oz can served in a snifter. Purchased at Jane's in Sunnyvale, flown home in my suitcase. No visible dates.
Pours an extremely pale yellow, whitish. Medium to large coarse head with lots of fine carbonation. Smell is citrus and tropical, very nice.
Taste is again citrus and tropical, seems sweet (but not cloying) with a solid (but not dominating) bitter background.
Mouthfeel is very dry, moderate thickness. Overall, very tasty beer.
