Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy orange to copper color with a nice looking finger’s worth of white foamy head that gently dissipated. Adequate lace. The aroma had some pink grapefruit pulp and rind up front, slightly hitting upon a semi-sweet wheaty arrangement underneath. The flavor pretty much copies the aroma very nicely leading into the aftertaste and rolling into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt appropriate. Overall, nice crushable pale wheat ale worthy of coming back to preferably in the Summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not a wheat beer fan and this one, while well made, didn't change my mind.

 

Cloudy yellowish-orange appearance, topped with a fluffy white head.

The dankest aroma I've ever noticed, mingled with wheat chaff and a bit of yeast.

There are two dominant flavors in this beer: a mouthful of pot smoke up front, and peppery rye crackers in the back. Yeast and wheat fall completely behind these two powerful, polarizing flavors.

Lively feel with little sting; medium-light overall, with sticky retention. Slightly grainy feel.

An absolutely bizarre beer. Hands down, the dankest brew I've ever smelled or tasted - and yes, tasted. It wasn't particularly bitter; it's all aroma and flavor hopping. The rye biscuit on the backend was equally strong and odd.

Ultimately, I did not particularly like this beer at all; the combination simply did not work for me. As much as I am a Beer'd fanboy, I would not order this again, nor want one if it was offered to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

64oz growler from Beer'd. Pours a hazy golden color with an inch of head. Some lacing. The aroma is floral and lightly peppery with orange peel. Some wheat and grass notes. The taste is floral hops with those spicy notes. Bready wheat with some orange peel near the end. Finishes with more of the floral bitterness. Hints of pepper. Lots of carbonation with a bit of dry mouthfeel at times. This is an easy drinker but with a solid hop presence. Perfect for the hotter months. Good blend of hops and wheat. Overall, worth grabbing again.
