Freestyle Wheat Beer

Crisp, light-bodied, and refreshing, Freestyle is inspired by Texas summer days spent at our favorite swimming holes – hanging out with friends at Sculpture Falls ...playing hooky at Lake Travis ...doing freestyle jumps off the diving board at Barton Springs Pool. Freestyle is the taste of summer in Texas.

Brewed with the finest two-row pale malt and American white wheat, Freestyle has a crisp, dry flavor followed by a slightly sweet malt finish. It's light and refreshing, like a pilsner brewed as an ale. This could also be called a blonde ale, but since it plays fast and loose with classic beer categories, we call it Freestyle.

REVIEWS:

"The Independence Freestyle Wheat Beer is delicious, a little sweeter and less hoppy than some, which may make it easier on the American palate. Buy some as soon as it gets hot and just try to stop after one or two bottles."

"The most accessible to most beer drinkers is the Freestyle Wheat Beer, which uses malted barley and wheat, but uses Chico yeast instead of the traditional German weizen yeast that some find heavy. While it doesn't have as much character as a German hefe-weizen, it comes across as a crisp refresher for when the Texas summer re-emerges about mid-March."
