Beach Cruiser

Beach Cruiser (American Wheat Ale) is refreshing, light-bodied, featuring citrus notes and a smooth, slightly cloudy appearance.

Traditionally more hoppy than a German hefeweizen, American wheat beer differs in that it does not offer flavors of banana or clove. It is a refreshing summer style.
