🌍 United States · American Wheat Ale · One of 31 American Wheat Ales in hopIQ

Coppertail's hazy wheat ale — a Tampa summer beer with citrus-peel brightness and a soft, light-bodied wheat malt base. Bread and light-fruit aromatics, citric finish, entirely clean on the exit. The core-lineup beer Coppertail reaches for when the humidity is over 80% — which in Tampa is most days.

hopIQ take

Very crisp mouthfeel.

A sharp texture drives the beer — a clean, direct pour with room for the palate to fill in.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

AI-generated sensory profile for Wheat Stroke

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with pronounced haze from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. A modest white head forms and gradually recedes, leaving thin patches of lacing along the glass. Bright, diffuse light transmission throughout.

◌ Aroma

Forward citrus-peel character dominates—bright lemon and mild grapefruit zest. Beneath lies a soft, bready wheat note with subtle fruit esters suggesting overripe peach and light honey. Clean fermentation character with no phenolic or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

Soft, pillowy wheat malt sweetness forms the palate foundation, with minimal body and low residual sugar. Citric acidity arrives mid-palate, emphasizing lemon and grapefruit notes. Bitterness is restrained at 18 IBU, allowing citrus to lead without harsh edges; the finish turns crisp and bone-dry.
