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

Hazy straw body with a rapidly expiring white head, this has a fresh aroma, grasses with lemon in the air. Unfortunately, the taste is way too acidic, sour lemon burning the back of the throat. Nasty. You’d think an American brewer would have better sense than to name a beer "Jack Whacker," especially when it tastes like this.

Dark golden color with a "dirty" haze. Smallish egg froth head. Sour lemon and dry wall paste aroma. Slight whaet malt flavor with lemon flavor finish. Nothing that I get very excited about.

Big fizzy head dies instantly, like 7-Up; slightly cloudy honey color. Interesting but weak aroma of lemongrass, honey, wheat, orangepeel. Flavor quite citrusy, acidic, reasonably malty, ok. Ehhh.

Poured a very hazy light copper with a small white head. Aroma of lemon candy and perfume. Wheaty flavors of lightly tart lemon. Almost tastes like lemoade. Light body

Bottle (12oz). Very bubbly, slightly hazy gold, small fizzy beige head. Fresh malty and weirdly spruce-y aroma, light fruit and yeast. The taste is mostly grapeseed and pine/spruce, fresh and sharp - watery body, incredibly well carbonated, lightly astringent, odd sharp aftertaste, vaguely reminiscent of Pinesol floor cleaner, but not horrid - I think this must be the lemon grass - if that’s lemon grass, this sucker’s loaded with it! Godd hot weather brew.

This brew pours a large head of fine and medium sized white bubbles with a cloudy straw yellow body. It has a mild bread-fruit aroma with a slight initial tingle then its fruit flavor and the lemon come on. Acceptable, but somehow I just don't care that ,much for the lemon flavoring.
