This pours a toasted straw color. Unlike your typical “wheat beer” this has a gobsmack of hops. There’s a light aroma with some floral notes… and Lagunitas’ trademark hop aroma. Flavor is smooth, light, with a bit of a funk—and some generous hopping hiding behind this. It’s strong but hides it well.

Serving type: on-tap

A: Poured into a tulip with a nice amber-gold appearance. Delivered a nice two inch head that dissipated pretty quickly but left behind some nice lacing.

S:Nice hoppy odor that lasted as long as the beer.

T: A really hop forward taste that was not as intense as the best IPAs but unlike any other wheat beer I've had. These hops linger and stand up well to a spicy chili that I was having with the beer.

M: Despite the hop bite it had the smoothness of a wheat beer. Really quite interesting.

O: I really liked this one and it will make a regular appearance in my beer lineup - particularly now that the hot weather has finally arrived.

Poured into a Dogfish Spiegelau glass. Julian date 079....

A- Pours a light amber color with a full inch of off-white head that bears great retention time before slowly popping away to an 1/8 inch head. Semi-resilient lacing leaves a large ring behind on the glass.

S- Pungently aromatic hop aroma that's very citrusy and floral. Really quite awesome and one of the better bouquets on a Lagunitas beer which is saying a lot.

T- Medium-high grassy bitterness comes in along with a touch of wheat which is just enough to bring together the hoppy flavor profile. The bitterness lingers a bit but not too long and the alcohol is certainly noticeable but ends up being complementary overall.

M- A moderate hop bite and just a bit of sharpness from the booze. Medium carbonation and a body that's a bit on the lighter side.

O- One of my favorite Lagunitas beers. I always just assumed (as have many others) that it was an IPA because that's what it drinks like but lo and behold: it's a wheat beer and a damn delicious one at that.
