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

Soft fruit and citrus nose. Hazy amber color, medium head. Mild sweetness, some lemony tartness, slight bitterness. Silky mouth feel, decent carbonation, citrusy finish. Really refreshing and different wheat beer.

On tap at the Brewery. Definitely not a hefe from the motherland. Interesting with out of place notes. There is no real development of ripe bananas or even, (in a good way) bubble gum flavours. Light and new in all aspects, worth a try when in CO.

Bottle from a sampler. Hazy light orange pour with a small head. Aroma of Fruit Loops. Taste is lemon, orange, mango, other fruits. Fairly sweet and very artificial. Though, I guess it’s a good thing when your fruit punch is 5+ %.

pours cloudy goldenrod with a fast-dissipating 2 finger foam. orange/ lemony aroma. not too much to this one...a little doughy, but mostly citrus flavors.the wheat is very apparent. a decided lack of spiciness. finish is quick and mostly a wheaty flavor. It’s refreshing, but not one of my favorites.

Quality wheat beer. It’s pretty run of the mill. Good balance of wheat and lemons. But it is very average.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with loads of carbonation, the head was thin and white. The aroma is citrus and wheat/yeasty. The taste was somewhat bland wheat with some citrus.

Deep golden color......very hazy......almost completely opaque. Thin head......fresh, slightly citrus aroma. Sweet citrus notes dominate the front......slightly crisp mouthfeel. Somewhat of a malt back that finishes clean.

Bottle. Pours golden with thin white head. Aroma is of citrus and lemongrass, much like the taste. Some lingering wheat flavor, but all in all pretty thin.
