7th St. Wheat

Tap to rate

A filtered, light-bodied American-style wheat ale with citrus and herbal notes from fresh lemon basil, added after fermentation. Crystal and Sterling hops and a wheat and Vienna malt base keep it light. The name refers to the 7th Street Wharf across the street from the brewery. It is one of the brewery's seasonal beers and was made as the summer beer, so it had to be exceptionally light.

The palate opens light and grainy with a wheat-driven character that feels refreshingly crisp. Citrus and herbal notes from lemon basil emerge mid-palate in harmony with the malt base, while minimal bitterness (12 IBU) keeps the profile dry and food-friendly. The finish drinks clean with no cloying sweetness.
