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

Soft fruit and citrus nose. Hazy amber color, medium head. Mild sweetness, some lemony tartness, slight bitterness. Silky mouth feel, decent carbonation, citrusy finish. Really refreshing and different wheat beer.

Beerbaron617 is the man. I was excited to try this beer, but was disappointed again. Do people really buy this again and again, or do they rely on one time customers?

From a bottle poured a light straw color with a good amount of head. Light refreshing flavor with not much flavor or finish.

I’m happy to say this is my 100th beer rating!! But unfortunatly, such an occasion is marked with unsatisfactory beer. This came as part of the trail mix multi pack, and the 4 I’ve had so far have given craft brewing a bad name. This pours a classic hazy yellow, with fluffy white head. It’s aroma is slightly skunky with subtle maltyness. The flavor is just really light, really no other way of describing. As I said previously, I will never purchase tommyknocker again.

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.

Pours a cloudy straw color with next to no head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and some lemon. Some carbonation. Taste of wheat, lemon with a touch of yeast.
