The newly verified strength falls within the category range; bitterness remains unpublished.

Research Notes
- The brewery's Our Brews page lists 14 beers (lagers, ales, IPAs, stouts and a Brett IPA) and no wheat beer.
- The old resort brewery URL now redirects to beechmountainbrewingco.com; the linked Untappd beer board returned no readable content.
- Searches for the beer name with the brewery and with the 2026 GABF found nothing.
- Researched 2026-10-13.
- Second pass 2026-10-13: Untappd, BeerMenus, ABV and medal searches found no additional specifications. The brewery's Untappd page was readable but supplied no matching Citrus Wheat specifications.
- Field pass 2026-10-13: The venue activity linked to a matching Citrus Wheat beer page publishing 5.5% ABV. IBU is N/A and hop varieties are absent. Distributor and brewery domain searches found no matching brewery beer page.
- Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery's beer list was read again and does not include Citrus Wheat; no description, tasting notes or recipe was found.
- Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 4 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
- Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (web searches): found nothing new; 2 pages tried. Nothing found. No page from the brewery or press describes a Citrus Wheat; results were homebrew recipes and general brewery listings.
