This beer has no real "style". An amber colored beer brewed with 45% Pilsen Malt, 39% White Wheat, and 16% Crystal 45. We added low amounts of Super Galena and Columbus hops during the boil. This beer came out very clean and higher in Alcohol than we had anticipated. After fermentation was done we tasted this beer and it was lacking something. A few days before we had received a hop order of 7 C's. If you're not familiar with this hop blend it contains 7 different C hops: Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Citra, Cluster, Columbus, and Crystal. The heavy fruity, citrus, spicy, and earthy aroma this hop imparts seemed a perfect fit for a large amount of dry hopping. Big Wheat plays a bit of a trick, it looks and smells like a double IPA but has none of the bitterness associated with the style. You get a lot of the fruit from the hops up front then smooth sweet malt on the back, with just a pinch of warming.
IBU : 17.5
