• Profile: Victory's summer seasonal, Sunrise Weissbier, is a crisp, refreshing beer, perfect for hot weather. Made with German barley and malted wheat, it's an unfiltered Bavarian-style ale, with a blond color and pillowy white head. Its fruity aromas and flavors are derived from a special German yeast strain. Light and drinkable without being wimpy, the citrus tang at the center is enhanced by a snappy bitterness from German and Czech whole flower hops. A distinctly American take on a classic German style.

• Pair with: Effervescent, with a citrusy acidity, Sunrise Weissbier certainly makes a fine patio sipper. But its fruity, flavorful palate also makes it an easy match for all kinds of foods, from brunch to lunch to dinner. Try it with salads and egg dishes or all sorts of seafood — a shrimp po- boy, crab cakes, fish and chips, seared scallops, boiled or broiled lobster.
