Brewers Description of this Summer Wheat Beer:
“Nonstop Hef Hop is the newest year-round beer in Hopworks portfolio. This low-alcohol, dry-hopped American-Style Wheat beer was created for drinkers who maintain active lifestyles. The beer clocks in at just 3.9% ABV and has the feel of a NW Pale Ale in body and flavor, but without the extra weight and alcohol. Nonstop Hef Hop is brewed with a variety of organic NW hops, organic malted barley, and red spring wheat grown on the Hopworks estate farm on San Juan Island.”
Our Review:Nonstop Hef Hop, on paper, has all of the qualities one looks for in a summer wheat beer. Most obvious is the low ABV, at 3.9%. Also, multiple 16 ounce can designs display athletic people targeting an active lifestyle. In the end, Nonstop Hef Hop does prevail as a successful, high quality, enjoyable summer beer. The experience engages with a rich, hazy tangerine pour combined with an orange peel perfume. Initially tart on the lips, a light wheat base takes focus. The malty back result in a dry conclusion.
This summer wheat beer is a good traveling companion. It has great charisma and pairs well with an active summer.
