Our Tastes-- SweetWater 420 Summer Hummer

Tonight I am finishing off the last of the SweetWater 420 Summer Hummer. This is a great "Americanized" witbier. The aroma is bland with a hint of citrus. Taste is standard witbier with clove, banana and wheat. No legs at all and a 1 inch head when pouring. Don't forget to swirl the goods in the bottom to get the full effect, the sediment does add a difference in flavor profile, I've tried it both ways. It started out as a seasonal and quickly replaced Exodus Porter as a year-round beer renamed "Hummer". When you go out to the site and click on the Summer Hummer bottle it still links to the Exodus Porter profile, funny, you can't keep a good dark be totally down. No abv listed but with the clean fresh taste, a 6 pack would be no problem.
