Commercial Description:
An American-style wheat ale brewed with 30% malted wheat and 2 row barley. Low hopping rates allow the refreshing aroma and citrus flavor of a late addition of lemon grass to dominate. This unfiltered beer retains all of its protein, flavor, and some of its yeast, resulting in a traditionally cloudy appearance. 2000 North American Brewers Asc. Gold Medal

Pours a hazy gold color with a quick diminishing small white head. Typical fruity aroma of a wheat ale...hints of strawberry, apple & peach. Taste is sweet malt, a little fruity, lightly hopped, some herbal flowery flavor, maybe a touch of honey. Semi-dry finish, light mouthfeel...maybe a little on the watery side. A good summer time drink. Highly drinkable, refreshing, lots of different flavors.

Smells yeasty. Party cloudy and yellow with a white head. Citrusy and bland taste with a thin palate. Summer beer, but not too exciting.

Hazy orange gold with a tiny white head. Mild aroma of wheat and citrus. Malty flavor with a hint of grain. Meh. Unremarkable.

Pours a cloudy orange with a very big white foamy head and some fine chunks of yeast. Aroma is pretty plain of wheat with a very very very light lemon note. Flavor is light lemon, wheat is very thin in flavor for being a wheat beer and the barley really seems to come through. Density, carbonation and lacing are all of the typical wheat beer style. Overall another beer produced by Tommy Knocker that I find not offensive but just not really worth drinking.

Cloudy golden color with an amber tint and a medium off white head. Aromas of wheat and citrus. Body is moderately malty and the flavor has hints of wheat, yeast and lemon grass with a slightly tart finish.

Not that great. Pours a nice hazy amber color with thick white head, but it goes downhill from there. Aroma smells moldy and flavor has nothing really tasty about it. Says its brewed with lemongrass, but I tasted nothing citrus about it. Easy to drink but prob wont drink it again.

Bottle from ZindeHey, thanks. Hazy golden yellow with next to no head. Aroma of malt, lemongrass and honey. Taste of honey, malt, wheat and mild lemon grass. It’s okay but nothing I’d seek out.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color with a lot of white head. The aroma was wheat, grass, and malts. The flavor was malts, lemon, wheat, and honey. Overall, I’m seriously thinking all of the Tommyknocker beers are starting to taste the same.
