If a wheat beer is dry-hopped in a forest with no one around to see it, is it still delicious? This bewildering question may only bear fruit after pondering over a pint. Packed with notes of citrus and stone fruit, with a crisp and spicy finish - unlock the secrets of the forest with this hoppy American wheat ale. 20 IBU

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, from their Survival Pack from my favourite The Beer Store on Goyeau St. in nearby downtown Windsor. My second beer from the Bracebridge, Ontario brewery.

473 mL can from the LCBO, included in Muskoka's latest Survival mixed pack. Dated Mar 12 2024 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a hazy pale yellow colour with visible flecks of sediment scattered throughout its body. Rising from the surface is a little over an inch of puffy, foamy white head that settles off over the next five minutes or so, leaving behind a generous collar of froth as well as a lovely coat of messy lace. The aroma is citrusy, offering up notes of lemon zest and orange in addition to some fragrantly grassy, floral hops, grainy wheat and apricot.
An approachable and pleasant wheat ale: light, fruity and refreshing, fairly low in bitterness. I'm tasting apricot and orange, with hints of grainy, crackery wheat & malt; floral, grassy hops come through on the back end. Mildly citrusy aftertaste with briefly lingering suggestions of stone fruit. Light-medium in body, with moderate carbonation that adds some crispness to this wheat ale's smooth, slightly fluffy mouthfeel. Very quaffable - I found it difficult to stop swigging this one.
Final Grade: 3.88, a worthy B+. This style is sometimes looked down upon by more high falutin' beer geeks - and to be fair, more than a few of the American wheats I've tried in the past have come off as sterilized, dumbed down versions of a real German weissbier. Muskoka's Dry Hopped Wheat definitely lacks the complexity of a real hopfenweisse, but I'd be lying if I said I had no use for it - in fact, in any situation where a witbier would be called for, I think this'd be a perfectly good substitute. I'd probably buy a couple more, if I happened upon some fresh cans.
