ÜberSun Imperial Summer Wheat Beer from Southern Tier Brewery is a clean, full of flavor seasonal beer released this April, and yes, I've had a bottle or two.
On the bottle it says that it’s meant to be consumed wisely with friends between summer solstice and autumnal equniox. This idea delighted me so I sat on my front porch, kicked back and enjoyed. I'm know expert, but I found the golden ale interesting, not too 'wheaty',and just down right dreamy.
I think the 'wisely' refers to the 8% abv since the beer drinks deceptively light. Stop at Five Points Bottle Shop pick up a few.

A- / 4.15
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | drink: 4
Appearance - The Beer itself seemed golden orange as it should be. It was mostly clear and rich. The carbonation was staggered and the head was not retained.
Smell - When opening the bottle, i expected a wheat beer smell, but it seems more of an IPA. There were definite tones of wheat and citrus, but more similar to an IPA. It has a very crisp smell.
Taste - There is a predominate taste of citrus and hops. There are notes of wheat, hops, malt, and mostly citrus.
Mouthfeel - Seemed a medium heaviness, although more then expected for a wheat beer. Was mildly dry and a strong taste, but a short after taste.
Drinkability - The taste was slightly stong, but at 8% it was expected. I feel like the beer does not live up to the weizzen i was expecting, but would have been more suitable as a IPA. If i was drinking it for the IPA taste, it would have been more expected. Overall, i do not believe i will be buying another Ubersun.
