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

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

Bottled@SBWF2008. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, fudge, caramel and some mild hints of hops. Flavour is hops, fruits, wheat and some grassy notes. Refreshing.

A golden pour with a tiny head. Has a citrusy taste with a dry taste of wheat thats just barely there. Has a bit of a bite and sweet finish.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy golden, small head. Orangey vanilla aroma with notes of buckwheat. Mid-sweet with rounded mouthfeel.. Slightly orangey with a bit of soap. Medium bitterness.

Hazy yellow with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with notes of yeast and wheat. Sweet and somewhat perfurmed flavour with yeast, fruits and wheaty notes. Ends sweet.

Pours a very cloudy dirty blonde with a white head. Aroma, what aroma? Light wheat and lemon I guess. Flavor is a little better, pretty basic wheat ale, but it does have a nice long aftertaste. The further I delve into this mix pack the more I am regretting my purchase.

Smooth cloudy golden color with a finger of tightly beaded white head. Bright aroma of lemon grass. Very wheaty, velvety mouthfeel. Orange and lemon finish. Seems unbalanced by any hop finish and the finish just disappears instantly

Not a bad wheat beer. Not a great one, but not a bad one. It is really smooth, but somewhat one dimesional (probably due to the low hopping rate). Refreshing on a warm summer day . . . just not quite what I would reach for the rest of the year.
