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

This bottle is thanks to Sue at work. It certianly is a refreshing beer, a good wheat example. There is just a hint of the lemon grass citrus that shines though a farily standard wheat. No malts are pereptable, neither is any bitterness or hops flavours.

The aroma has hints of citrus wih very light notes of hops and no malts. It is a light tan in color fairly cloudy. It is easily drinkable and quite thirst quinching, just as good as I remember it all those years ago in the hot arizona sun. Thanks Robertsreality.

Very weak and tasteless wheat beer. Standard appearance of a wheat beer but not really much taste. The lemon overpowered everything. Frightfully disappointing.

This beer had a small diminishing head. The color was a cloudy orange. The flavor tasted a little like an orange. It had a sweet taste.

Pours gold with a two-finger head and aggressive effervescence. Surprisingly fruity aroma dominated by lemon. Wheat and a light nuttiness play roles, too, along with sweet, honey-like hops. As it warms, the wheat becomes the main aroma. Tastes bad, like lemon dish detergent. Very dry finish that turns to stale wheat a few seconds after the swallow. Very spritzy.

12 oz. bottle: light golden straw…minimal ivory head. Lemony aroma with fresh hop flowers and cherry, vanilla beans. Slightly gritty, under carbonated palate that has some off malt flavours…but does leave a decent hop taste on the back of the tongue. Strawberries and light, sweet lemons round a fairly decent brew…this would be refreshing on a warming summer day…

Cloudy orange with a spare, large bead, white head. Aromas of wheat, grass, and almond. Very little hop presence on the tongue, no yeast accents, either. Very dry on the finish. Too little fruit and not enough character in the malt to allow me to recommend this one.
