Product Details
OVERVIEW
Subtype / Style
As American wheat beer brewers typically use an American ale yeast strain—or even lager yeast—American pale wheat ales often display notes of lemon, rather than the banana-like or clove-like flavors and aroma compounds found in Belgian Witbier and German Hefeweizen Ale yeasts. In fact, some American wheat beer brands have real lemon, lemon rind or lemongrass in their brews, and many are typically served with a lemon garnish. Their colors vary from straw to light amber, and these wheat beers are often summer seasonal releases, delivering crisp, wheat-like, citrusy, bready and light-bodied aromas and flavors.
Producer Story
Lagunitas brews their year-round selections and seasonal offerings with what founder Tony Magee calls “a bizarre Old World tradition using only water, hops, yeast and malted barley.” Lagunitas’ brewers aim to craft beers that offer “richness and warmth” when the seasons turn cold, and “crispness and refreshment” in the spring and summer.
Their numerous year-round beers include Lagunitas Pils, Pale Ale, Censored (American Amber/Red Ale), A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale (Wheat Ale/IPA), Imperial Stout and a lineup of IPAs: Lagunitas IPA, Maximus IPA and Hop Stoopid Ale.
Lagunitas’ Petaluma brewery grew rapidly over the past decade, and its owners opened another brewery in Chicago, Magee’s home town, in 2014. Each facility is expected to make some 500,000 barrels of beer annually.
