On-tap at the source itself in a 10 ounce glass. On to the beer:
This is not the common boring wheat ale. Looking a lighter orange color with webs of lacing hanging around. It's a hoppy wheat ale, both in aroma and flavor. It smells like mangoes and fruit-infused grass, and has a pleasing mélange of orange, mango, papaya. If I had a beach house, I'd make sure to drink plenty of this, because this is a pleaser.

On tap at the brewery – San Clemente, CA
From the sampler – 08/24/2014
(Dry hopped with Simcoe and Chinook)
A: Light golden blonde hue with a touch of wheat haze across the body. Half finger lip of paper white foam rests for a few moments and eventually subsides out to a crown. Some nice lacey tracks are strewn about the glass after every sip.
S: The aroma starts out hoppy with a tropical flower perfume followed closely by a belt of grainy wheat malt. Gives a sort of sugar cookie presence which is nice. Not super pungent but everything is smelling nice here.
T: Taste is creamy malts up front with a vanilla wafer cookie like sweetness. The beer has a lower amount of actual perceived bitterness yet it is still quite hoppy with a focus on tropical, floral, and peachy. Grainy malt surfaces again in the finish. Creamy and light oh what a delight. Another greatly balanced brew with some well hidden alcohol.
M: The body is light to moderately light with a low amount of filling on the palate. Nice creamy texture all throughout with not much bitterness going on. A touch dry in the finish but pretty clean overall.
D: Very good stuff. This could easily hold up to Modern Times Fortunate Islands or 3Floyd's Gumballhead. Deliciously balanced and this makes for some very easy beach time drinking stuff right here.
