Wheat Wizard is a contemporary take on a Weissbier, blending traditional German foundations with American hop alchemy. A base of soft malted Wheat and Barley provides a doughy, bready core, while the classic weizen yeast produces prominent banana and clove esters. This sensory wizardry is elevated by a vibrant infusion of Orange peel and the citrusy, floral punch of Centennial and Citra hops. The result is a heady aromatic profile of tropical fruit and bright zest, finishing with a crisp, refreshing effervescence. It balances the fluffy, creamy textures of a wheat ale with a modern, citrus-forward complexity.
Appearance.Pale straw to deep gold (3–5 SRM). Distinctly hazy with a vibrant shine from the wheat and yeast suspension. Features a thick, moussy, long-lasting white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by classic banana and spicy clove yeast character, supported by bready, grainy wheat notes. Distinctive citrus highlights of orange zest, grapefruit, and light floral notes emerge from the addition of Orange peel and Citra and Centennial hops.
Taste.Initial impression is soft and bready. Flavors of ripe banana and spicy clove are well-balanced by a bright citrus layer. The use of Centennial and Citra hops introduces a light floral and tropical citrus character with a moderately low bitterness that remains well-integrated. Finish is clean and relatively dry with a lingering orange-citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a fluffy, creamy fullness. High carbonation provides a spritzy, effervescent sensation on the palate. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
