As the sun starts to peek out from around the dark winter clouds, it is a clear reminder that brighter days lie ahead. Deviating from the original recipe, this new and improved Sun Block comes with a little more oomph in flavor, but still has that great summertime body.

The label says- wheat beer. And it feels more like an IPA than a wheat ale. Hazy, golden color. Medium-sized, white head. Hoppy , citrus notes dominate in the aroma. Hops and some acidity in taste. Decent beer.

DATE: June 19, 2016... At my second Father's Day at the Draught House--forty beers on tap and a free dinner! Can't beat that... drinking from a Miller Lite pint... starts with a frothy, crater-like off-white head that settles to a thin film... clear, golden body--but does NOT look filtered... faint pepper and banana, with some malty biscuit... strong rye suggestions, with aromatic flowery aromas providing some .. the flavor is pepper and biscuit, with lemony hops and Saaz-like pilsener, both of which are softened by the wheat... medium-bodied, with a refreshing, lighthearted passage to the throat, but no staying power here... pairing well with the bourbon pepper steak I ordered, though a bit light for the task... as a kickstarter for my Father's Day, a winner... a beer that could be sessioned, but not as bright as promised...

On-tap 5/15/2016 at Flynn’s in Mansfield, MA, served in a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, with a medium white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains citrus, wheat, light caramelized malts and a good amount of hops.
T: The taste starts out with a strong citrusy lemon flavor followed by some breadiness from wheat and a hearty but not too heavy malt character. The hops presence is mild but complementary and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Tasty but somehow reminds me of Lemon Pledge, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid beer to drink for a while.
