Everyone is done graduminating. Hectic summer party season has officially begun. Hell yes…Beertastic is getting going again :) New Belgium has been a recent fav, so lets dive in!

Brewery Hometown: Fort Collins, Colorado

Appearance: Sparkling gold. Clear and crisp with a light bubbly head.

Aroma: Wheaty with a heavy hops overtone. You can get baseline hints of orange and coriander. Hoppy-er than other wheat beers I’ve stuck my nose in.

Taste: Citrus and hoppy bite, not as ridiculous as a IPA but you get that chord. Somewhat spicy taste; Summer is not the first season that comes to mind despite the name. The balance is overall great - very friendly - with pleasant aftertaste of orange, citrus. Better when its on the warm side, but don’t quote me for an exact temp.

Alcohol: 4.8%

Drink one or all?: 2, this is worth a shot. You’ll be pleased having this with a meal.

Cost: $10 / 6 bottle

Overall: Andy: 16/20
