🌍 United States · American Wheat Ale · One of 10 American Wheat Ales in hopIQ

A GABF bronze-winning American wheat ale named for a well-loved stretch of Folly Beach. Soft notes of banana and clove emerge purely from the yeast — no additions — over a light, hazy, refreshing wheat body. The brewery's easygoing answer to a hot Charleston afternoon.
