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

Cloudy yellow color, Just the right amount of head. Nice lemony aroma. A little sediment. Lemon taste isn’t overpowering. Wonderful summer beer.

Very good light wheat ale. There’s not a ton of flavor, but it also doesn’t have the bitterness that some heavier beers have.

Bottled December, 2002: Bone white foam with moderate retention. Cloudy banana juice liquid. Didn’t quite expect such a nice aroma quite this delicious: Predominant fresh hop grassy aroma, lemon, and a dash of pepper and banana. Underlying phenols show their stuff, as does bready yeastiness. The watery palate and spritzy carbonation are not a good mix. Initial mild citric twang, topped by a blanket of pepper, vanilla, lemon, and bready malt. Flavorful finishing interplay of light citric snappy tones and breadiness. Far better than I expected from this cheesy brewery. Note: The extreme freshness allowed the hops to be fully exerted, which impressed me.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Some spice aroma. Golden coloured and hazy in appearance. Smooth on the palate with a little ginger spice flavour. Hint of dryness in a crisp and creamy finish.

Slightly light golden color with a fairly thin head atop. Smell is light, nice wheatiness along with some tart lemony note. Taste is also a touch tart, with a sweet honey wheat like kick to it as well. I tend to like american wheats although they’re not generally a highly rated snobby beer, and I’d say this one was above average. I thought it was quite good, while slightly unique, for the style and would get it again.

Pours a two finger white head that fades quickly leaving a little lace. Light cloudy amber color. Light carbonation and Light bodied. Sweet lemony nose. A little sweeter than a typical wheat, must be the lemon grass, slight lemon aftertaste. Good summer beer. $1.29 for a 12oz bottle from Blue Max Liquor Burnsville, Mn.
