Charlotte, North Carolina-based [Sycamore Brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangrine-hazy-ipa) has launched a delicious new wheat ale that is designed to put forth an intriguing flavor profile without being overpowering, making it eminently crushable.

The 'Super Fresh' wheat ale comes in at 5.4 percent ABV and bears an appearance that is deep blonde but offers hazy characteristics. As far as its flavor profile is concerned, the 'Super Fresh' wheat ale comes in heavy with orange and tangerine at the beginning, with notes of lemon-like sourness eventually giving way to elements of wheat bread.

By bringing together a wheat base with elements such as stone fruit, tangerine and lemon, the 'Super Fresh' wheat ale manages to combine [citrus, tartness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corona-sunbrew-citrus-cerveza) and a pleasing bread-like note that makes it an exceptionally satisfying sipper.
