Gamma Ray is the 3rd in this brewery's series of "Side Project" beers. This is the first Side Project beer I have tried and picked it up at Midtown Spirits on my last visit to NashVegas to see the brew brothers. It pours a very dark straw with flat head in our thin pilsner glasses. "Brewed with 50% wheat, a handful of Munich malt and 700 lbs of Tupelo and Sourwood honeys from Savannah Bee Company" The honey taste is there on the sides of the tongue and you can smell it on the breath out. Esters are apparent across the palate. At least we think they are esters because we know that the honey fermentation is an acidic one. 11%abv and we like it.
