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

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.

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.

Bottle. Slightly hazy yellow with a small white head. Kind of a grassy lemony aroma, not much aroma at all. Clean dry lemony flavored beer, slightly sour with a quick clean finish. Devoid of any yeast or hop character. Probably a great hot weather thirst quencher, not much else going on. Could see the potential to drink too much too fast.

Bottle. Medium brown hue with small particles and a average frothy white head. that did not last long. Aroma was moderate malt and hop with citrus tone. Flavor was moderat sweet with short sweet finish. Light to medium body.

Imagine taking a wheat beer and then Frankensteining it with the nasty artifical lemon from lipto iced tea, and you have this beer

Pours cloudy golden straw with a thin ring head that follows all the way down the glass, leaving light soap lace. Very light nose on this one.... sweet wheat predominates. Wheat and yeast, again lightly noted, produce some small citrus and wheat bread flavors. This seems pretty well-integrated, honestly, but very underdone. Sweet wheat transfers into the finish, but with semi-lively carbonation levels and a thinner mouthfeel, this feels rather bland for the style... and certainly nothing to write home about.

pours clear yellow with weak head. grassy, airy aroma. the flavor was a bit bitter , no trace of banana. the finish was disappointingly watery. not bad, but budweiserish. i don’t mind bud.
