We don't make many pale wheat ales...but when we do, they're hopped with Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe (are we serious with these hop combos lately?) and continuing our lineup of mosaic beers.

9/6/25 - (Home) (Chicago, Illinois) Can Notes: Purchased a single 16 oz can at Beer on the Wall at store temperature on 8/23/25 for $4.55 including tax. Canned 8/19/25 @ 11:31:51, Can Stamp: Virgo HOF Adam Sandler. 6.25% ABV, Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe-Hopped Pale Wheat Ale. Tasting Notes: Mango Gummies, Tangy Orange & Fresh Blueberry. Artwork by Dan Grzeca. Brewed and canned by Hop Butcher For The World in Chicago, Illinois and Bedford Park, Illinois.
Appearance: Poured about 2/3 pf the can an hour glass shaped Weizen glass, yielding a hazy orange juice appearing base, a substantial bubbly and creamy bright white head that leaves soapy lacing and a bubbly cover. 4.0
Aroma: Full strength mango, pineapple and citrus. Zero traditional wheat beer noted. 3.5
Taste: Diesel covers the fruit flavors consistent with the aroma, mango and citrus primary. Diesel impact wears off a bit, perhaps I'm just getting acclimated to it. 3.25
Mouthfeel: Dry and bitter, drinks significantly higher than the 6.25% ABV. Diesel dies down, fruit and bitterness coexist but not in a well executed manner. Body watery and light, boosted by sustained prickly carbonation. Mango citrus finish. 3.0
Overall: Hard to tell any wheat influence or difference vs. Hop Butcher For The World Hazy IPAs and APAs. This one more of a boilermaker in terms of alcohol shot (diesel), shouldn't be too fresh. Was hoping for a lighter easier wheat style beer, and not a NEIPA. A miss for me. 3.0

Aroma is huge Mosaic hops and mild wheat/citrus. The flavor is fruit/tropical fruit, malts/slight grains and a spicy/big Mosaic hop/but still smooth wheat finish.
