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

Nice golden coloured body with a hazy orange glow and a strong white head. Light aroma of yeast and wheat with a bit of coriander seed also coming through. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice wheatie flavour with some lemons, oranges and coriander seed very noticeable. Aftertaste is a bit more potent with some sweetness, curacao and a faint bit of hops. Overall, a decent wheat - nothing horrible, and good for a hot day! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 05-April-2008.

Bottle; Poured a cloudy orange color, small weak white head that dissapeared before I knew it....COMPLETLEY dissapeared with no sign of having ever exsisted...know it just looks like cloudy kool-aid. Nice aroma, fruity. Flavor of citrus. medium carbonation. Not impressed at all....

Bottle at J’s Bistro. Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is citrus and lemon. The taste is very grassy and tart. Not too much going on with this wheat ale from Tommyknocker.

Clear pale gold color with a mediocre head. Beer is weak in aroma and taste, which both are faintly of wheat and mildly hoppy.

pours clear yellow with weak head. grassy, airy aroma. the flavor was a bit bitter , no trace of banana. the finish was disappointingly watery. not bad, but budweiserish. i don’t mind bud.

12 oz bottle. Nothing amazing. Color is cloudy orange. Nose is citrus, grass. Taste is light, citrus, wheat. Hops are there, somewhere. Also might make a good session beer.

12 oz bottle. Another so-so beer. I like wheat beers but this one left a little to be desired. But unlike other Tommyknockers, literally only a little, other left far too much. The appearence is basic, the aroma is sweet, citric, floral, and sugary (not overly appitizing). The flavor is lots of cereal.
