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).

I love this beer and this brewery. Tied as my favorite between Dogfish Head and Magic Hat. Unfiltered Hefeweizen. I loved it. And still love it.

Magic Hat offers an amazing hefeweizen with a twist. The lemongrass complements a summery-type flavor. I’ll admit it looks a bit hazy after the pour, but the flavor is well worth it. One of my favorites.
