Sunshine Wheat Clone
This is a light Belgian style Wheat beer brewed with a mix of barley and wheat malts. The finish is slightly spicy and refreshing. The small addition of dextrine malt adds some extra body to this excellent thirst quencher

Great quencher, similar to the Sunshine Wheat of New Belgium, but better because it is not filtered and it is better because of the bottle conditioned flavor. | |||||||
