Description:
Our Yakima Wheat Ale is a hoppy wheat beer brewed with American hops from the Yakima River Valley in Washington State. The blend of wheat and barley lends a touch of toffee sweetness. The hops contribute spiciness of juniper and pepper. Altogether they create a crisp, refreshing beer - with a hoppy bite.
Yakima Wheat Ale was born out of our close relationship with several hop farmers in Yakima Valley. One of these farmers grows U.S. Challenger, a hop that is traditionally grown in the UK. The hop was chosen for its connection to the UK, as well as its unique flavor and aroma. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Pale Ale + Wheat Ale =
Pours a golden yellow, transparent, but slightly cloudy. Two fingers of a pillowy white head. Lots of bubbles.
Nose gives off a lot of wheat and malt aromas, with citrus hops nicely balanced.
Taste is overall a nice balance, with the soft wheat flavors nicely smoothing out the slightly tart citrus hop flavors. A moderate aftertaste, but not overly bitter.
Medium body along with moderately high carbonation.
As far as wheat beers go, this one is pretty good. A nice balance of hops and malt, some nice flavor depth, and it's easy enough on the palate to have more than one or two.
