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

bottle - Pours hazy yellow with a thin, fizzy, rapidly fading head. The aroma is mild yeast and citrus. The flavor is sweet and lemon. It’s light and simple with a wet finish, just okay.

Bottle. The smell reminds me of a light pilsner with artificial lemon added in. The flavor is slightly bland. Not a perfectly crisp beer, but smooth and somewhat spring-like about the flavor. Leaves a light coating on the tongue. Has a tart and strange (almost lemony) finish. I would try it again

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a hazy golden color with a thin, off-white head that quickly faded away. No lace. The aroma consisted of grass, lemon, wheat, and some bready yeast notes. The flavor was made up of light lemony citrus, wheat malt, and some yeast. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and crisp with adequate carbonation. This was a well crafted wheat. Decent enough.

Slightly light golden color with a fairly thin head atop. Smell is light, nice wheatiness along with some tart lemony note. Taste is also a touch tart, with a sweet honey wheat like kick to it as well. I tend to like american wheats although they’re not generally a highly rated snobby beer, and I’d say this one was above average. I thought it was quite good, while slightly unique, for the style and would get it again.

Not very interesting. But, a refreshing alternative to American Lights on a 90 degree day.

Bottle (Jack Whacker? what were they thinking!0. Cloudy yellow with white head. Mild nose of lemon citrus, tart wheat, and faint malt. Flavor is pretty subdued, with a touch of lemon, malt sweetness, and crisp finish. A bit watery, but all in all a refreshing brew-- drunk after biking around Dillon Lake, righteous. I’m surprised at the bashing this one takes.

12 oz bottle. Poured a very pale clear golden color. Head, fizzy, white, and disappeared immediately. No lace was left behind. Smelled of light honey and sugary candy, kind of like cherry Pez. More effervescent than I had expected and slightly sweet. Tasted like lemon Pez. Body was on the light side. Pretty boring.
