This Fruit Beer, built on a refreshing Wheat Session IPA base, delivers a vibrant surge of citrus refreshment. The sensory profile is defined by a potent aroma of American hops that leans heavily into grapefruit and lime, amplified by the addition of real citrus fruit juices. A pale, hazy pour reveals a bready, soft wheat malt backbone that provides a clean canvas for the bright, zesty fruit character. On the palate, a crisp, moderate bitterness balances the tart juiciness of the fruit, leading to a bone-dry, highly sessionable finish designed for hot weather. The result is a harmonious integration of hop-driven citrus and real fruit intensity.

Appearance. Pours a pale straw to light gold (3–5 SRM) with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves moderate lacing. A noticeable haze is present, characteristic of the wheat base and the addition of fruit juices.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh citrus zest and juice—notably grapefruit, lemon, and lime. This is supported by a strong American hop profile featuring tropical fruit and resinous notes. A low, clean, bready wheat malt scent provides a subtle background, with no noticeable fermentation esters.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of tart citrus juice and pithy American hops. A grainy, bready wheat malt flavor appears mid-palate, supporting a moderate hop bitterness that remains crisp but not harsh. The citrus addition adds a slight tangy acidity. It finishes very dry and clean, with a lingering lime-zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slightly soft texture from the wheat. Carbonation is moderate-high, enhancing the prickly, refreshing quality of the citrus. Alcohol warmth is negligible. No astringency from the fruit skins.
