HOPIQ TAKE

Agave Wheat if you want something lighter and more sessionable, Washout Wheat if you want a touch more substance and staying power. Both sit in that comfortable American wheat sweet spot with identical bitterness, but the half-point ABV difference actually lands—Agave feels like it was designed to disappear into an afternoon, while Washout has just enough backbone to feel intentional. Neither will knock you sideways, but you'll notice the shift.

TASTING NOTES

Agave Wheat

WheatRefreshingCrisp

Agave Wheat hits with a soft, almost creamy wheat base that doesn't feel heavy. The agave comes through as a genuine flavor note, not some gimmick—there's a subtle sweetness that sits between honey and light caramel without tasting cloying. It's got this feathery mouthfeel that makes you want another immediately. The IBU 18 means zero hop bite, just clean, drinkable comfort.

Washout Wheat

WheatCrispRefreshing

Washout Wheat has more presence the moment it touches your lips—slightly fuller body, a bit more grip on the palate. There's a wheat sweetness here too, but it's more traditional and less embellished than Agave's agave angle. You get more of the grain character, a slight spiciness from the yeast profile that gives it definition. It's still easy drinking, but it asks for your attention a little more.
