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

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

Actually better than I expected. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium to large sized foamy white head. Nose is a bit of spice, wheat, and honey. Taste is about the same. Nothing offensive here and pretty well balanced. Underrated IMO.

Lemony. Tastes what I imagine fabric softener would taste like. A citrus, smooth flavor.

Murky yellow with a small head that is mostly diminishing. Lemon, dough, and blueberry (what?) aroma. Sour flavor, slightly acidic finish. Watery, watery, watery palate.

Poured a somewhat cloudy weak yellow color with a white head. aroma was very bland but had hints of some spices and the general wheaty smell. Flavor was much better than aroma, although a bit watery, very nicely balanced, not off flavors and even some nice spice hints come through.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big white head. Very faint malt and yeast flavors come through. Overall a pretty faint and thin wheat. Easy to drink on a warm summer day but shit, Blue Moon White is better than this.
