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

Murky yellow with a small head that is mostly diminishing. Lemon, dough, and blueberry (what?) aroma. Sour flavor, slightly acidic finish. Watery, watery, watery palate.

Hazy gold color. This is an o.k. wheat - fruity, sweet, tart, lemony. Problem areas - watery finish, overly fizzy.

A deep hazy amber color with a thn head. Had a deep malty flavor with the wheat coming through. This was a refreshing and had lots of citrus notes in the aroma and flavor. This was a very nice beer to drink.

I like this one. It’s a flavor explosion of citrus, spice, and wheat on the tongue. Had this one at the brewery and out of a bottle. Lovely.

12 oz. single - $1.49 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours a very slightly hazy, yellow-orange body with a thin, fizzy, white head. Smell: Sweetish, mildly grainy wheat malt intially in the scent, but juicy, fruity citrus follow close behind. Taste: Sweetish maltiness with only a very mild grainy wheat bread character. Fruity tangerine juice alongside an addition of near-savory lemongrass. Sparse hop character and only a tiny touch of bitterness. Finishes dry and very crisp with a final touch of doughy malts. Slight lemon hints in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: A slightly toned down carbonation would, for me, be appreciate. Otherwise, it’s a fairly pleasant wheat ale.

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
