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

This beer had a small diminishing head. The color was a cloudy orange. The flavor tasted a little like an orange. It had a sweet taste.

12 oz bottle via Arctic Liquors Beer of The Month Club. Pours a hazy gold with an average size white head. Nose is lemon and butterscotch. Taste start with some lemongrass and wheat, a bit of vanilla, then some butter, and ends tart. High carbonation. Light body. Pretty easy to drink and the lemongrass makes it unique and definately worth a try.

Pours a hazy golden/amber with a medium sized white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is of pale malts with a hint of citrus. Taste is also of pale malts, but with wheat as well as the citrus flavor from the lemongrass. Overall, a good refreshing spring/summer brew.

Pours a slightly cloudy light golden hue. The nose is pleasantly sweet with gentle lemon grass whiffs. The flavor was crisp and refreshing with a nice light mouthfeel complimented by the citrus taste throughout. I really enjoyed this one and think it’d be great for a warm summer day after a surf session~

Had this beer on 11/13/1998. Color is a light gold with the slightest haze and a good bit of sediment floating around. Carbonation and head are good. Aroma has a nice hop scent and a touch of a grassy a scent in it. Taste is light and refreshing with a nice lemon flavor in it. It starts off with a light body that goes down crisp and fresh. The finish has a good hop flavor, a light bitterness and a faint lemon taste. I’m not sure if the flavor comes from hops or the lemon grass but it is very good

Re-Rate 07/18/02: Lightly chill hazed and golden orange in color, nice white head and decent lace. Nose is citrusy, a bit earthy, clean and crisp, slightly ’Perfumy’. Front is sweet, the top is light to medium, the finish is lightly hopped, acidic and somewhat dry, a decent beer, nice on these hot humid afternoons. Ranks #699 on my master list of beers.

Cloudy yellow thin head, pretty basic american wheat, lemon, and slight spiciness to it, but it was very smooth, and very refreshing, not complex but I liked it.

Bottle. The smell reminds me of a light pilsner with artificial lemon added in. The flavor is slightly bland. Not a perfectly crisp beer, but smooth and somewhat spring-like about the flavor. Leaves a light coating on the tongue. Has a tart and strange (almost lemony) finish. I would try it again
