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 oz bottle into a pint glass awhile back. A somewhat unique wheat brew with some big flavors, but they just don’t quite sit right.

Draught. Body is hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), lightly hoppy (lemon), with a hint of clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Cloudy straw color with wisp's of yeast suspended through out the brew.Small white head not very impressive.Sweet aroma definately Lemon grass.nearly no hop smell at all.You have to smell pretty hard to detect them if hard smelling is possible.Sweet taste,lemony with a slightly acidic taste as well.I like lemon grass but this is a bit much just a little over the top for me.It needs to be tamed with less lemon G.and a few more hop's it might just make it a better brew.

Label is over the top, just wild! Cloudy appearance as advertised. The flavor is surprisingly dry and crisp. There are plenty of classical wheat tastes. Lemon and coriander can be detected. The beer is surprisingly carbonated. I like this style and this was pretty good, but not one of the top brews.

Pours a murky straw color with a thin white head. Quick lacing. Aroma is light hops and spice. Light bodied with flavors of citrus, floral hops and very little wheat. Finish is rather crisp and carbonated. This is a mediocre beer overall, but not bad on the scale of other American Wheats I have tried.

Pale bronze. Medium body. Tastes like someone dumped some sour lime juice in here. Not much wheat taste coming through at all. Eh.

Nice wheat haze and golden color with a good head. But the lemon grassgave the whole thing a nasty furnature polish finish that just didn’t work for me.

Clooudy yellow, thin but dense white head. Very faint aroma - banana, bubblegum, etc - the usual suspects. Some notes of sourdough and a touch of banana in the flavor. Crisp finish.
