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

12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Cloudy yellow with a thin head and some floaters. The aroma was strong with notes of lemon, orange peel and citrusy hops. The flavor was much the same, citrus, lemon, wheat and maybe a touch of spice.

Bottle. Poured a hazy gold color. Decent head, but went quickly. Aroma was wheat, grass, and malts. Flavor was overpowered by the lemon flavor. It was a good thing though. A different wheat beer. It was actually very good.

An average wheat beer at best. Pours a cloudy straw color with a billowing white head that quickly vanishes. A slight citrusy flavor soon gives way to a watery mouthfeel. This would probably be quite refreshing on a hot summer afternoon but I wouldn’t invest in more of it with so many superior alternatives available.

Bottle - mostly wheat in the aroma. American wheat ... what a boring style. That said, this one is not bad. Cloudy gold body with a white head. A nice sweetness at the sides of the tongue dominate the finish. I guess that is the lemongrass. Considering the style, I really enjoyed this brew.

Smells yeasty. Party cloudy and yellow with a white head. Citrusy and bland taste with a thin palate. Summer beer, but not too exciting.

Pours a hazy golden/amber with a medium sized white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is of pale malts with a hint of citrus. Taste is also of pale malts, but with wheat as well as the citrus flavor from the lemongrass. Overall, a good refreshing spring/summer brew.

more mmalt than expected for a wheat, sweet after-taste, a small amount of lemon after-taste due to lemon grass, not a bad mix

Pale hazy yellow. Smells a little like banana, but not much. Blah, the flavor is awful. Salty and funky with a hint of artificial something. Yuck. NOT a good wheat.
