Breckenridge Ophelia Hoppy Wheat Ale

This 5.0% ABV hoppy wheat beer is from the Breckenridge Brewery of Denver, Colorado. It is their new spring seasonal. Funny how spring seasonals come out in January and Oktoberfests in July, and etc. On the bottle is apparently Ophelia, and she looks as though she has the "vapors."

The beer pours a hazy honey golden and apricot in color. There is a short head of white to off-white foam. The aroma is full of ripe tropical fruits, with a bit of musk. The taste is a direct reflection of the armoas, redolent of full and ripe tropical fruits oozing over a bed of toasted wheat. The finish seems lightly bitter, but grows in bitterness with time. It is quite dry. It has a subtly tingling carbonation and medium body. This is one nice beer for hopheads, I would say a must try!
