The hops punch you in the palate and the wheat lets you down easy. Smooth, Light body and refreshing with enough punch to keep you coming back for more.

Very well liked by cycling friends

I brewed this beer for my friends so I toned down the bittering hops and did a little more dry hopping with willemette in the fermenter. ABV came out a little higher than expected but not too crazy at 9.5%. I served this beer to a group of cycling buddies, most are not fluent in craft beer, and they really loved it.
