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

Thin, watery, un-wheaty chemical taste with a lemony aftertaste. Nose is lemony and chemicals that reminded us of fabric softener and that damn little snuggle bear.

Clear yellowy appearance, well carbonated, good head formation. Sweet lemon honey, grainy biscuity malt aroma. Dryish grainy palate, sweet lemon undertones. Mild bitterness, short finish. Not a style I’ve ever cared for but even taking that into consideration this one really doesn’t impress.

12 oz. Bottle Another bottle a month or two past its Best By date. But let’s see. Clear gold color under a thin head, small trickles of bubbles. Light wheat smell. Taste is light and lemony, but I also get a mouth full of perfume. I find this a big distraction. Layer of yeast at bottom of bottle.

Muddy day old toilet water. Lovely subtle fruitiness in the aroma with sour peach, banana and tangerine. The lemon grass is also very apparent as well. Bready maltiness is present. The taste is so unbelievably lacking in body, flavor and complexity. Front is nothing, absolutely nothing. The lemon grass becomes more apparent in the mid-palate. Different light fruitiness comes along on the finish.

A so so wheat ale. Aroma was a weak mix of lemon and yeast. Pour was a nice deep gold with a two finger white head. Taste was a little sweet for a wheat ale. A little citrus in the aftertaste and not much in the front. Medium carbonation and slightly heavier mouthfeel than I care for for a wheat. Very middle of the road.

Bottle. Very clear honey body with a thin foam of bubbles. Nose-kinda sickly and dirty. Notes of vomit sawdust, pot roast, and meat come out. Taste-better than the nose. Medium wheat, light blueberry, light sweet hops, seltzer, fruity esters in the background. Good smelling for a pot roast, better tasting. A slightly above average American Wheat.

Wheat beers come across to me as bland and weak. Except for Three Floyds Gumballhead, which is more IPA than wheat beer. This poured hazy amber with a decent white head. Nose was straw, cereal, citrus. Carbonated, watery. Flavor was wheaty, earthy.

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
