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

WTF? So I bought the Tommyknocker sampler and all SUCKED, minus maybe the dopplebock. This one looks bad, orange. Theres almost no aroma, maybe cookies? The taste is all lemon-grass with a little wheat. Are there any hops here? I understand being unfiltered, but WTF are these little black grains in my glass? Black? Fuk Tommyknocker!

Bottle. Slightly hazy yellow with a small white head. Kind of a grassy lemony aroma, not much aroma at all. Clean dry lemony flavored beer, slightly sour with a quick clean finish. Devoid of any yeast or hop character. Probably a great hot weather thirst quencher, not much else going on. Could see the potential to drink too much too fast.

Draft, Great Decatur Beerfest. Cloudy yellow pour. Citrus, lemon, and spiced aroma, kinda subdued (maybe that was my tasting glass after 7 other Tommyknockers). Yeasty clovy and lemony. Average wheat beer to me.

Robe blonde aux reflets cuivrés, voilée, surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui s’estompe. Arômes d’épices. Saveurs de bananes, d’agrumes. Légère.

Poured a very hazy light copper with a small white head. Aroma of lemon candy and perfume. Wheaty flavors of lightly tart lemon. Almost tastes like lemoade. Light body

No head, cloudy gold. Clean kool-ade nose w/ corn syrup. Taste is bland, a bit tart with a touch of malt.
