Cran Orange Wheat
The autumn member of the brewery's fruited wheat line, first released in September 2023 and brought back each fall since. Two-row malt, wheat and honey malt with Mt. Hood hops form the base; juice concentrates of both fruits go in with natural fruit flavors. It pours a hazy amber with a pink tint. Tart cranberry and sweet orange share the nose over soft, bready grain. The palate plays citrus sweetness against a bright, berry-like tartness, bitterness is low, and the finish is crisp.
