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: Slightly hazy gold in color with a white head. Aroma, wheat and some pale malts maybe, not much else. Flavor, lemon, wheat, some light citrus, a tart kick towards the end, finishes very lemony. Not that good.

Bottle. Pours hazy light gold. Very minimal aroma profile. I get a hint of grain (wheat/barley) and that’s it. Where’s the lemongrass? Ahhh... there it is on the palate. Not too bad, I guess. Light citrus notes, a hint of malt. Actually quite refreshing. Of all the Tommyknockers, this is my favorite (although that’s not saying too much.)

Murky yellow orange color out of the bottle with only a small white head. Thin citrus nose with a little sour to it. Some lemon citrus notes, some doughy yeast, and light grain. Actually very little flavor at all. Clean finish. Something a little funky in the background.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big white head. Very faint malt and yeast flavors come through. Overall a pretty faint and thin wheat. Easy to drink on a warm summer day but shit, Blue Moon White is better than this.

12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Cloudy yellow with a thin head and some floaters. The aroma was strong with notes of lemon, orange peel and citrusy hops. The flavor was much the same, citrus, lemon, wheat and maybe a touch of spice.

Not a big fan of Wheat beers and this was no exception. Looked like a wheat beer, tasted like a bland wheat beer and the yeast was apparent.
