Summer is just around the corner and it's the perfect time to brew light, refreshing beers. American Wheat ale fits this bill perfectly with its hop crispness, smooth texture and moderate alcohol content. The hazy yellow color and thick white head makes American Wheat beers appear similar to their European counterparts, but the banana and clove characteristics are replaced with citrusy hop aromas and flavors. If you're looking for a homebrew that pairs with sunshine, backyard picnics and dinner on the porch, this style is the best place to start.
