Description:
Pour Hop Sun Summer Wheat Beer into a pint glass, give it a long whiff and you’ll realize that this isn’t your average wheatbeer. Filtered to a golden clarity and dry-hopped to perfection, Hop Sun is a fantastic session ale in which flavors of wheat, barley and hops commingle to a refreshing and zesty conclusion. Hints of lemon and sweet malts waft to the fore as a touch of bitterness contributes to Hop Sun’s bright finish. Enjoy Hop Sun all summer long as a perfect balance to your outdoor recreation. Summer never tasted so good.

Appearance - 3.5
Pours one finger of frothy white head that fizzles away pretty quickly and leaves very little lacing. The beer is a clear golden straw color with a decent amount of visible carbonation.
Aroma - 4.0
A tiny bit of wheat malt combined with a nice helping of lemon and grassy hops.
Mouthfeel - 5.0
Light-bodied with some very active carbonation. Crisp and light on the palette.
Taste - 5.0
A nice hoppy opening. A combination of light citrus, lemon and grass. This is followed by a wheat bite in the finish along with some lingering sweetness. This beer remains light, but has that hops flavor to make it stand out from the other wheat beers out there.
Overall - 4.5
A wheat beer that isn't as boring as most of the rest out there. It has a pleasant flavor and it's drink-ability is off the charts. It goes down like water on a hot day. This is in my top 3 favorite summer beers for sure.
Since I can't get 3F Gumballhead in my area, I'll settle for this as my summer session beer.
