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

Sounded interesting off the label. First impression after smelling was good. Drank it and did not care for the lemon grass and the sweetness of this beer.

Bottle pours a hazy, particulate suspended dark yellow with wispy white head. Aroma is extremely biscuity (like a toasted corner of a cherry poptart) with light floral hop. Flavor is malty and wheaty, and sweet. with a slight grassy hop on the finish. Fairly decent.

(12oz. bottle, courtesy of travita) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, biscuit, and light citrus. Flavor of caramel malt, wheat, and mild hops (citrus).

Pours a cloudy golden color. Aroma of lemon, grasses, and wheat. A little light on the flavor - not nearly as much flavor as some other wheat beers I typically enjoy. Not much of a finish either - rather weak. I’ll drink it if I get a couple in the Trail Mix pack that Tommyknocker puts out but will not go out of my way to buy a full sixer of this one.
