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

Wheaty aroma, dryish. Hazy yellow body with a small white head. Thin wheat beer, some lemon and wheat, rather thiin.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass awhile back. A somewhat unique wheat brew with some big flavors, but they just don’t quite sit right.

12 oz. bottle: light golden straw…minimal ivory head. Lemony aroma with fresh hop flowers and cherry, vanilla beans. Slightly gritty, under carbonated palate that has some off malt flavours…but does leave a decent hop taste on the back of the tongue. Strawberries and light, sweet lemons round a fairly decent brew…this would be refreshing on a warming summer day…

Bottle. Pours hazy light gold. Very minimal aroma profile. I get a hint of grain (wheat/barley) and that’s it. Where’s the lemongrass? Ahhh... there it is on the palate. Not too bad, I guess. Light citrus notes, a hint of malt. Actually quite refreshing. Of all the Tommyknockers, this is my favorite (although that’s not saying too much.)

Small white frothy head fades away. Clear yellow body. Light lemony bready aroma. Sweet taste with a very light "nothing special/delicious" flavor. Sweet lemon, bread and cooked corn. Decent body like other Tommyknocker, but again, slighly harsh carbonation.

good lacing, nice tart yeasty aroma, nice malty lemony flavor...this beer would be perfect on a hot summer day....much better than anything from the ’big 3’

Had this beer on 11/13/1998. Color is a light gold with the slightest haze and a good bit of sediment floating around. Carbonation and head are good. Aroma has a nice hop scent and a touch of a grassy a scent in it. Taste is light and refreshing with a nice lemon flavor in it. It starts off with a light body that goes down crisp and fresh. The finish has a good hop flavor, a light bitterness and a faint lemon taste. I’m not sure if the flavor comes from hops or the lemon grass but it is very good
