Summer Weizen
A wheat beer made for the Okanagan summer, pale gold and lightly hazy. Apricot leads the flavour, backed by the soft banana and clove note that wheat yeast brings, over a bready wheat malt base with a faint tartness. Bitterness sits at 14 IBU, the lowest of the range, so the finish stays soft rather than dry. Light body, brisk carbonation, crisp from the first sip to the last.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Summer Weizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
