Whether you're slicing lemons, a golf ball, or the end of a cigar, Wedge Cut's addition of lemon peel and Lemon Drop hops add refreshing complexity to the beer's effervescent body, herbal hop flavor, and cracker-like maltiness.

Pours Golden yellow with a 1/2 inch white head, which dissipates. Light lacing.

Aroma is lemon, grass, wheat.

Taste is tangy lemon, spice, slight sweetness.

Light bodied, light carbonation. Dry, tangy finish.

Although, I'm drinking this is the middle of winter, this would be a great summer quencher.

Wow, what a positive surprise! This is probably one of the the most perfect summer beers I've ever tasted. I was afraid It'd end up being too hoppy or sweet, but there's such a good balance of flavors that neither is overpowering. It also does not have any saltiness, which many will appreciate.

+1 points for a cool label design as well.

Hazy bright yellow with 3 fingers of off white head.

Smells of citrus and fresh lemons.

Tastes of cereal wheat and lemon juice.
A little sour but pleasant.

Medium foamy body with lots of carbonation.

Got in Savannah, GA where I am at, June 30th, 2020.

Pours an effervescent honey color with 2 fingers of pearl colored head. Glass chill hazes on me , once fully poured. great lacing above average head retention

S: Bready, grassy

T: Follows the nose, some lime & lemon notes. Crackery dryness & lemon zest as this warms. Finishes dry & lemony

MF: Light/medium body, lively carbonation

Good flavor for the style & ABV, pretty drinkable

12oz can poured into a snifter

A- pours slightly hazy golden color with a one-finger creamy white head that has great retention and leaves some lacing behind

S- toasted wheat, cracker malt, lemon zest, green grass, cracked pepper

T- crisp cracker-like malt mixes with toasted wheat up front, followed by citrusy notes of lemon peel and a hint of orange. The finish is slightly grassy with some peppery and lemon notes on the linger

M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns into a crisp dry finish

O- simple, yet refreshing, I'd definitely add this to my summer rotation
