Description

Your Citrus Glow Up Wheat Ale is a crisp, light-bodied wheat beer that highlights vibrant citrus flavors balanced by subtle wheat malt sweetness. The gentle malt backbone from Wheat Malt and Pale Malt (2-Row) creates a smooth mouthfeel, while Carapils (Dextrin) Malt improves head retention and body. Saaz hops contribute a delicate traditional aroma early in the boil, and Cascade hops add bright citrus notes at later additions. Sweet orange peel infuses lively citrus aromas and flavors into your beer. The SafAle WB-06 yeast supports clean fermentation suited to this wheat ale style.
