🌍 United States · American Wheat Ale · One of 37 American Wheat Ales in hopIQ

Great Outdoors Adventure Ale is a summer wheat ale, first released in 2025 and named after a 1988 film comedy in which Point beer appears on screen. White wheat malt forms a soft, lightly bready base, and Cluster and Mount Hood hops add a mild herbal touch. The nose shows fresh wheat, hay and a faint fruitiness; on the palate gentle grain sweetness meets subtle tropical fruit that carries into a light, dry finish with very little bitterness.

The nose leads with fresh wheat and hay characteristics, underpinned by a soft, clean grain sweetness. A faint fruitiness emerges beneath, likely from the mild Cluster and Mount Hood hop additions. The overall profile is subtle and understated, without aggressive herbalism or floral intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with gentle grain sweetness from the white wheat malt, followed by a subtle tropical fruit character that carries through the mid-palate. The hop bitterness remains restrained at 9 IBU, allowing the malt's soft, bready foundation to dominate. The finish transitions to dry and light, with minimal lingering bitterness.
