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

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with large white frothy head that has decent retention and very nice lacing. Aroma is slightly floral and citrus. Sweet wheat and barley malts up front with a zing citrus flavors that finishes with bittering hops. Needs a little more.

Looks like apple juice mixed with orange juice. Not much for smell. Tastes a little citrusy. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about. Definitely not the best of the Tommyknocker brews.

Pours yellow/orange cloudy. very little white head. Aroma is citrus and a grass field. Taste like an even more watered down blue moon. Flavor is all water and citrus/grass. Nothing else. Summer bear for sure. for what it is it’s not that bad.

12oz bottle. I really dislike this brewery. Have yet to have a good experience. Clear, orange color. Aroma of wheat and citrus zest. A bit of spice. Flavor is a watered down wheat flavor. Grassy lemon notes. It is OK.

Pours with a very hazy yellow color and a small tight head, with just a bit of lace. The aroma is a little spicy and grainy. The flavor is a tad sweet with flavors of honey and some lemony citrus.. kind of boring.
