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

Draft, Great Decatur Beerfest. Cloudy yellow pour. Citrus, lemon, and spiced aroma, kinda subdued (maybe that was my tasting glass after 7 other Tommyknockers). Yeasty clovy and lemony. Average wheat beer to me.

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

(From skimpy notes) Pours clear golden with thin white head. Aroma is of cherries. Flavor weak. Palate watery.

This is a good brew company, but all of their beers as well as this one is light compared to the style. To suttle. Good flavor but just not enough

Pours clean translucent light amber until the slurry is poured, adds some haze. Profuse creamy white head. Nose is strange, definitely a clean yeast, some wheat character, no estery aspect. Mild sweetness, green apple skins, mild fruityness, bready. Flavor is bleh, very bland, some wheat character, grassy, mild sweetness. No carbonation on the palate, kind of slick.

Hazy yellow with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with notes of yeast and wheat. Sweet and somewhat perfurmed flavour with yeast, fruits and wheaty notes. Ends sweet.

Light unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, wheat, lemon notes, pineapple juice. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [260908]

A so so wheat ale. Aroma was a weak mix of lemon and yeast. Pour was a nice deep gold with a two finger white head. Taste was a little sweet for a wheat ale. A little citrus in the aftertaste and not much in the front. Medium carbonation and slightly heavier mouthfeel than I care for for a wheat. Very middle of the road.
