Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailWheat Wacker

The dog days are back. No more snow, maybe a light rain here or there, but the time to exit the hibernating hovel is now. Allergies be damned, it's time to break out those shades and soak in the sun. Whether your idea of enjoying the longer days include gardening, lawn work, or just plain relaxing, we offer for you the Wheat Wacker, light in body but hoppy enough to know that this isn't any normal lawnmower beer. On the west coast, we are partial to our hoppy beers, but love to experiment in the Belgian fashion. By combining the sessionability of a witbier and the citrus qualities of Pacific Northwest hops, it gratifies on all fronts, including the warm fronts. Is it a Belgian IPA, not really; a hoppy wit, maybe? Perfect for the summer, we think so. Pilsner and wheat malt give the beer a light golden color with a subtle hint of clove and fresh cut grass. Blending European noble and Pacific Northwest hops, the flavor is moderately spicy and citrusy. Dry hopped like an IPA, fruity apricot notes intermingle with Belgian Yeast esters.
