Fortunate Islands
Fortunate Islands is a hoppy wheat ale brewed with around sixty percent wheat malt, which gives it a mild, nutty backbone, and dry-hopped heavily with Citra and Amarillo. Mango, tangerine and passion fruit fill the aroma, with orange zest and a little straw behind them. The bitterness is restrained and the sweetness low. It pours golden orange with a white head and finishes crisp and light.
