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

Poured a somewhat cloudy weak yellow color with a white head. aroma was very bland but had hints of some spices and the general wheaty smell. Flavor was much better than aroma, although a bit watery, very nicely balanced, not off flavors and even some nice spice hints come through.

Made a average appearance, poured a cloudy dull yellowish golden with a foamy white head, medium carbonation. They’re not lying, had a nose of lemon grass, sweet wheat malt, yeast and grain. A semi-crisp and a little rough medium bodied mouthfeel, average drinkability. Sort of average tasting, grain, wheat and lightly yeasty, not much of hop presence, but there shouldn’t be, the lemon grass starts coming through towards the end and a lemony herbal and malty finish. Not bad on a hot summer day, but not exceptional either.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with loads of carbonation, the head was thin and white. The aroma is citrus and wheat/yeasty. The taste was somewhat bland wheat with some citrus.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with large white frothy head that has decent retention and very nice lacing. Aroma is slightly floral and citrus. Sweet wheat and barley malts up front with a zing citrus flavors that finishes with bittering hops. Needs a little more.

Good flavor, the lemongrass is unique and refreshing. The body was cloudy. this is a summer time beer with out a doubt.
