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

Not the best wheat beer. Only a hint of citrus, nice appearance. And yes, the list in order for tasting these was Leghumper, Long Leg, Jack Whacker. 0:)

Robe blonde aux reflets cuivrés, voilée, surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui s’estompe. Arômes d’épices. Saveurs de bananes, d’agrumes. Légère.

Hazy orange gold with a tiny white head. Mild aroma of wheat and citrus. Malty flavor with a hint of grain. Meh. Unremarkable.

pours clear yellow with weak head. grassy, airy aroma. the flavor was a bit bitter , no trace of banana. the finish was disappointingly watery. not bad, but budweiserish. i don’t mind bud.

Very hazy light brown with some dark sediment. Creamy medium head. Crisp lemongrass aroma, some cloves mainly lemon. Taste is also of lemongrass, which is a slight acidic lemon with a touch of straw, anyone who has done any oriental cooking with lemongrass will know this taste and aroma. This is very refreshing, a nice summer drink.

Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Light orange, hazy pour with a thin white head (there’s a trend here). Very little nose to speak of, some lemon peel in there but not much else. A little banana and orange throughout, but not much taste, either. Dissapointing. I’ve not had a "Tommyknocker" beer I’ve truly enjoyed yet.

Aww crap.. its clear were my initial thoughts. Yellow color, white head, wheat aroma. Crappy flavor. Watery. bland. lame.

From a bottle poured a light straw color with a good amount of head. Light refreshing flavor with not much flavor or finish.
