hop sun poured a crystal clear, golden yellow color with a pen width white head.  The aroma had some barley, wheat, and a little lemon but is mostly dominated by hops.  The body has good depth, and is smooth with a light sweetness up front and some wheat in the middle.  A large amount of hops also start to show in the middle and carry through to the finish leading to a fairly bitter, dry, lingering finish.  Overall, this is a well made beer acording to style, but ultimatly nothing impressive for me.  This beer has a nice, deep body, and a pronounced hop finish.  The wheat starts becomes more apparent as the beer warms. A must try for American wheat beer fans but I think I personally will pass next time. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
