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

(bottle). Pours a yellow color. Medium to large size head, which is white in color. Aromas of grass and wheat. Taste of wheat and lemongrass. Smooth finish which is somewhat watery, with a lasting wheat taste. Medium carbonation.

Bottle. Poured a hazy gold color. Decent head, but went quickly. Aroma was wheat, grass, and malts. Flavor was overpowered by the lemon flavor. It was a good thing though. A different wheat beer. It was actually very good.

Crushed with Jakebra. A surprisingly nice wheat ale. Good, honey and wheat nose. Flavor is not cloying at all and incredibly smooth. Maybe cuz I’m a little drunk, but this is a pretty damn good wheat ale.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Cloudy golden colour with very brief, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, peaches, vanilla and distinct bubble-gum aromas. Fruity taste with notes of peaches, mandarin, citrus and hints of sweet candy. Finish is slightly spicy but not overly sweet. Thin body. Rather fresh but on the boring side.

12 oz bottle. Pours pale hazy yellow with a decent crisp white head. Smells wheaty, floral, and candy-ish. Tastes like wheat and sugar. Some kind of candy sweetness that is unusual, but not bad.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with slight orange hues. There is a very nice large white, frothy head that has decent retention and very nice lacing. Aroma is slightly floral and sort of fruity and a bit earthy. Flavor is sort of citrusy and nice subtle lemon flavors at the end. It could be a bit bolder. It is nice and easy on the palate and very drinkable. Not my favorite but not something I would pour down the drain.

12 oz. single - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a very slightly hazy, yellow-orange body with a thin, fizzy, white head. Smell: Sweetish, mildly grainy wheat malt intially in the scent, but juicy, fruity citrus follow close behind. Taste: Sweetish maltiness with only a very mild grainy wheat bread character. Fruity tangerine juice alongside an addition of near-savory lemongrass. Sparse hop character and only a tiny touch of bitterness. Finishes dry and very crisp with a final touch of doughy malts. Slight lemon hints in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: A slightly toned down carbonation would, for me, be appreciate. Otherwise, it’s a fairly pleasant wheat ale.
