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

Had this beer on 11/13/1998. Color is a light gold with the slightest haze and a good bit of sediment floating around. Carbonation and head are good. Aroma has a nice hop scent and a touch of a grassy a scent in it. Taste is light and refreshing with a nice lemon flavor in it. It starts off with a light body that goes down crisp and fresh. The finish has a good hop flavor, a light bitterness and a faint lemon taste. I’m not sure if the flavor comes from hops or the lemon grass but it is very good

more mmalt than expected for a wheat, sweet after-taste, a small amount of lemon after-taste due to lemon grass, not a bad mix

Thanks to akevitt for sharing. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with little head. Mostly a wheaty malt aroma. Light bodied with the typical wheat ale taste with some citrus/lemon near the finsh. Comes off slightly bitter and watery.

Pours a nice golden with very little head. Smells sweet and wheaty with a little yeast mixed in. Very smooth palate, and a clean finish.

Bottle, thanks to Papsoe for sharing. Clear, almost golden pour, and a minimal white head. Looks hazy in the bottle. Lemongrass dominates the aroma and flavor, but it is also fruity, slighlty soapy and with pale malt. Medium, dry and slightly dusty mouthfeel. A quite special beer, but feels refreshing, and I bet it goes down easy on a hot day. (071005)

12 oz bottle- poured a transparent weak orange color, aroma of wheat and fruit. Solid fruit taste with weak body, finish tales off, no bitterness or hops. Kind of ho-hmm.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy nose. Light in body with a soft mouthfeel an lightly sweet, wheaty accents. Distinct and pleasant accents of the added lemon grass. Almost no bitterness. Close to being the perfect summer quencher. 051007
