Wheat Stroke

Tap to rate

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.

◐ 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.
