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

Very pale gold body. Light amount of white head. A soapy hop aroma, not that enjoyable. Very thin taste, sweet hops are integrated with the wheat. Maybe some pear is evident in this. Carbonation is very evident in the ending.

not much more head than a lemonade, which describes the aroma as well: lemonade made with the peels rather than the juice. pale pear color. the trouble with lemon as a fragrance is that it’s a smell co-opted by so many cheap dish soaps. i run little risk of scurvey, so i don’t do lemon in my beer, thanks. on a snowy blustery march night, this summer quencher is as out of place as mahatma ghandi at a gun show. still, come summer i won’t be looking for it: it’s got a nasty lemon aftertaste like nyquil or something. cloudy beverage with a weak tea flavor. nasty.

Poured to a clear golden orange, not hazy like I expected, with virutally no head or lacing. Aroma was very slight, though I picked out a slight citrusy fruit smell. Unfortunately, no spice or dough smell. Flavor was pleasant, again with hints of fruit. Mouthfeel was fairly flat, and finish just so-so. Not a bad drinking beer, just not much of a wheat beer.

This beer pours gold with a slight chill haze that fades as it warms up. The aroma is apparently devoid of all hop aroma. Slight maltiness, vague fruitiness (almost like the dried rasberry aroma from the raspberry black tea my wife drinks.) Not bad, but infinitely forgettable

A nice wheat beer with whispers of citrus thanks to the addition of lemon grass. Color is cloudy amber, so you know it hasn’t been filtered. Aroma has a hint of lemon, as does the taste, which is typical of a wheat beer. Pleasant and uncomplex, it has just a little bit of a hoppy bite.

Wheat beers are supposed to be light with some variable citrus, mild spice, and a gifft of refreshment on a warm to hot day. This was too light even for the style and had none of the other attributes. Have they changed the recipe since 2000?

Really not a lot of character to this wheat. Some lemon flavor with the wheat, initially, but it seems to fade. A decent appearance is the best this beer offers.
