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

Dark golden color with a "dirty" haze. Smallish egg froth head. Sour lemon and dry wall paste aroma. Slight whaet malt flavor with lemon flavor finish. Nothing that I get very excited about.

Ehh....not bad persay, but quite mediocre. Pours a light copper brown with a small white, bubbly head. Smells moderately yeasty, in my mind much like a brewpub beer. Are we sure that this is actually a wheat ale? It doesn’t taste much like other wheats I’ve had. Anyways the taste is moderately watery, but has a sorta astringent flavor. While i do taste the advertised lemongrass, this is unfortunantly the only real flavor in the beer, and it’s very mild at that. It’s a shame too, the bottle looked so promising....

Hazy orange gold with a tiny white head. Mild aroma of wheat and citrus. Malty flavor with a hint of grain. Meh. Unremarkable.

Cloudy pale yellow, thin white head. Not much flavor, lemon taste with not much malt flavor. Basically a weak beer.

Pours hazy medium yellow with small fizzy off-white head. Nose is lemongrass and clean wheat. Flavor of lemongrass, wheat, floral hops. Watery mouthfeel. Very middle of the road.

12oz bottle. Wheat grain aroma. Yellow body with white head. Flavor of wheat grains and a mild bitterness. Went well with the spicey pizza for dinner.
