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

Cloudy yellow thin head, pretty basic american wheat, lemon, and slight spiciness to it, but it was very smooth, and very refreshing, not complex but I liked it.

Had this one a few months back at the AA meeting at summits. Rotten bananna color to it. I got a dusty light aroma, kinda had a fruity pebbles hint to it. Didnt have anything to speak of in the light body except for being light.

This is a good brew company, but all of their beers as well as this one is light compared to the style. To suttle. Good flavor but just not enough

Bottle. Primarily lemon grass aroma - light hint of wheat malt. Cloudy amber with small head. Light wheat malt flavor initially that’s quickly overwhelmed by the lemon grass flavor -watery. Probably could get the same flavor by adding lemon grass to any light beer. No bad tastes to this beer - just not a lot there.

This beer pours gold with a slight chill haze that fades as it warms up. The aroma is apparently devoid of all hop aroma. Slight maltiness, vague fruitiness (almost like the dried rasberry aroma from the raspberry black tea my wife drinks.) Not bad, but infinitely forgettable.

This beer poured a sickly cloudy orange with visible beer pulp. It had a quickly dissipitating head. The taste isn’t bad but not really wheaty. It’s rather hard to define. It’s rather bland and quite forgetable. The purported lemon flavor doesn’t show through until the aftertaste. The whole beer is saved at the last minute by the lemon after-taste.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with kp (thanks!). Bottle labeled best within 4 months of August ’05. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with an averated sized white head. Aromas of wheat and citrus - both on the weak side. Tastes of the same and weak like the aroma. Overall a boring beer.
