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

It looks good enough; orange and some sediment. Lemongrass in the aroma with very light wheat. It does has some body to it. Flavor is lemon grass and this makes it very dry. Some sweet wheat, but overall fairly light. The lemon grass is interesting and works well enough.

Bottle - mostly wheat in the aroma. American wheat ... what a boring style. That said, this one is not bad. Cloudy gold body with a white head. A nice sweetness at the sides of the tongue dominate the finish. I guess that is the lemongrass. Considering the style, I really enjoyed this brew.

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.
