Dec 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours a good, golden yellow with a minimal head. Aromas of rubbing alcohol and tea. The lemongrass was the reason for me buying it, but it’s too weak in the mix and made what could have been a great wheat beer a really bland pilsner.

Nov 13, 2006 Label is over the top, just wild! Cloudy appearance as advertised. The flavor is surprisingly dry and crisp. There are plenty of classical wheat tastes. Lemon and coriander can be detected. The beer is surprisingly carbonated. I like this style and this was pretty good, but not one of the top brews.

Nov 8, 2006 In an odd way I liked this beer, not a world class thing going on here. The lemon grass did add a nice zip to a boring style.

Nov 5, 2006 About as average as you can get. Nice citrus notes and an abundance of lemon. Soda pop feel. Watery. Not much going on.

Nov 4, 2006 Nice wheat haze and golden color with a good head. But the lemon grassgave the whole thing a nasty furnature polish finish that just didn’t work for me.

Nov 1, 2006 Pours a sandy, golden brown with considerable haze... near opaque. A whitish head fades fast. Weak aroma with kind of a "banana ice cream" feel to it. Roasted corn nuts late. Tart flavor atop a base of grains. A bit thin and overcarbonated. MIld sweetness in the finish, but sourness is louder. Not bad, but probably the weakest of the Motherlode.

Oct 24, 2006 Poured a murky light orange from the bottle with very little white head. Smells of malt and wheat with very little hop to speak of. Slightly citrus, slightly malty flavor, but forgettable taste. Refreshing beer though, better than I expected but simple and light flavor.
