Hops & Wheat Ale
Mt. Carmel Brewing Company

A: Pours a very slightly hazy medium to dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint burnt orange + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy bright white head that reduces to a couple of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of wheat + cracker + pale malts with minimal amounts of sweetness and a moderate aroma of citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/grapefruit zest + herbal hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of wheat + cracker + pale malts with minimal amounts of sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/grapefruit zest + herbal hops which impart a slightly heavier than light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Slightly lighter than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable with a pleasant flavor and aroma from the wheat base and hops.
