16oz glass at Beer Revolution, a few days after their Bomber Brewing tap takeover. Wow, this outfit doesn't seem to be getting much love from Lotusland locals around here.

This beer appears a clear, medium golden amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some melting frozen windshield lace around the glass as it quickly bleeds away.

It smells of bready and doughy pale and wheat malt, orange, lemon, and white grapefruit pith, a twinge of earthy spice, subtle greasy yeast, and more leafy and floral hop bitters. The taste is more grainy and bready pale malt, a softly gritty wheatiness, muddled citrus flesh, an ethereal yeastiness, and more zippy leafy, piney, and herbal hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly tight in its hard-driving frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, those heady hops seemingly taking a breather here. It finishes off-dry, the base mixed malt still running alongside the lingering citrusy and green hops.

Overall, this PWPA is an enjoyable and refreshing tipple, especially after a good soccer runaround. Flavour abounds, and the hops don't quite overwhelm the basic wheat ale nature. Recommended for those who are not against a bit of style hybridization.
