Orange & Honey Wheat
Introduced in March 2026 to give the brewery a wheat ale that runs all year instead of by season. Wheat and honey malt sit on a two-row base with Mt. Hood hops, and the brewery adds blood orange juice, orange extract, honey and a little citric acid. Ripe citrus with a tart red-fruit edge opens the nose. A soft, nectar-like sweetness and a light, bready body follow on the palate, bitterness is low, and a gentle acidity keeps the finish bright and clean.
