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

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.

Pours a murky honey gold with a creamy, 2 finger, white head that has good retention. Aroma is wheat, fruity notes, buttery toffee, banana taffey and some planty hops. Flavor is wheat, waffle cone, banana, light citrus, buttery toffee and some light floral notes. Finish is pretty tame just some mild bread and fruit notes along with some spice. Palate is light bodied with a neutral entry leading to a slightly dry, chalky finish. This is an odd, somewhat interesting wheat ale that just doesn’t pay off in the end, but is still pretty inoffensive.

"Interesting beer. Pours a hazey bright golden colour with a full creamy top. Aroma is pleasent with noticeable lemongrass right away. Some yeasty esters. wheat and banannas on the nose. Taste is pleasent with some soft spices, firm citrus notes and just a hint of bitter hops in the finish. Great for a hot day!
