Florida Avenue Brewing Co. Passion of the Heights – American Pale Wheat Ale at 4.7% ABV (2023 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #2, 355 ml, packaged on 1-Aug-2023, acquired 14-Dec-2023, reviewed 14-Dec-2023)
Appearance: hazy pinkish deep gold with one finger of loose off-white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, spotty lacing. (3/5) Aroma: floral, citrus zest, spices. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter, light tart. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, short duration lightly tart finish. (4/5)
That’s not bad, and more importantly, fairly different from the everyday. The pinkish hue is the first clue that this isn’t normal, followed quickly by the floral (hibiscus?) notes. That floral element, along with the citrus and fruit, plays well with the underlying wheat tartness to give a pretty refreshing final product. Not bad at all. (14/20)
This will be my 5,699th unique Untappd check-in.
