Rciesla (891), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle brought a sixer to a KD party in Jersey City. Pours a hazy orange yellow body with an off white head. Lots of wheat spices lemon, orange, and apricot. A solid offering i thought. WakeandBake (98), Greenville, Michigan, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle.Golden straw color,with a giant white soapy head. Nose of lemon and banana. Medium body,creamy texture,and mouthfeel. Crisp finish. Not a bad beer,I like it better than traditional German Hefe. maltdog (432), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 10, 2008 **Here is the beer as I rated it in my notes, thinking it was a witbier. As a hefeweizen, it is so unbelievably off base, and thus rates even lower numbers.** The cloudy, lemon yellow ale features impressively luxurious and lasting foam. Toasty aromatics barely edge out dried manure funk and rotting orchard fruits. A toasted English muffin flavor has suggestions of apple, lemon curd, and pineapple. Finishing briskly tart, the ale offers a strange mildewy aftertaste. The palate is wonderfully smooth and creamy with vigorous yet soft carbonation. There is actually a very nice wit in there, if you can see past the weird phenols. This probably would have been worlds better paired with some ripe soft cheese and a hunk of crusty ryebread. taalhiker (111), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 5, 2008 From bottle. Cloudy yellow color with scant head. Very strange aroma and taste. I guess it’s a combination of lime and lemon. The lemongrass description makes sense now. Pass! chicagodri (552), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow with a thick white head. Light aroma of wheat and some lemongrass. Really though, this was a very disappointing hefeweizen. It was very mild and had very little flavor. I know I have turned into a beer snob, but it was almost a drain pour for me since I knew I had some Lost Abbey in the fridge.
