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

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.

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.
