Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Yes, the bottle calls it a hefeweizen. The beer, however, is brewed with a (fairly hefty) portion of lemongrass, which contributes a significant aroma and flavor. Thus we have deemed it a Spice/herb/vegetable and not a German Hefeweizen, which should be free from adjuncts (other than hops).

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Cloudy golden. Some spicy mustard and yeast character. Sweetish with clean mouthfeel. Notes of coriander, lemon grass and oranges. Has a very American feel to it.

Bottled (rated Sept 2006). Orange head, small head. Aroma is hoppy, leathery and slight caramellish. Flavour is fruity, hoppy and grassy with notes of cooked vegetables. Smooth, but quite watery. 6 3 6 3 12<br /><br /> Bottled (re-rated in 2007). Orange colour, small white head. Aroma is citrus, US hops and some slight hints of wheat. Flavour is US hops and acidic citrus fruits. The style could be something like American Hefeweizen (rather than German Hefeweizen as the bottle claims). 6 3 6 3 12
