Sensory Description:

Float On pours a hazy straw yellow with a soft, pillowy white head. On the nose, it greets you with expressive aromas of ripe banana, clove, and a hint of citrus. The palate is light-bodied and buoyant, offering classic hefeweizen esters with an extra lift of banana character, thanks to South German fermentation techniques employed by head brewer Jason zumBrunnen. A smooth carbonation and effervescent texture lead to a refreshing, slightly spicy finish that leaves you ready for the next sip.
