Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Yes, the bottle calls it a hefeweizen. The beer, however, is brewed with a (fairly hefty) portion of lemongrass, which contributes a significant aroma and flavor. Thus we have deemed it a Spice/herb/vegetable and not a German Hefeweizen, which should be free from adjuncts (other than hops).

This was just a ok beer for me , kind of light in flavor and color. Has kind of a sour finish to it.

Quite clear golden hued with a small and noisy off white head. Not much of a lifespan for the head. A lemon syrup aroma. Some wheat crispness in the flavor, banana, citrus. Far from a great beer from a brewer I am losing patience with.

A hazy golden pour with large white head. It has a lemon and wheat aroma that very much matches the taste. It has a light to medium body and mildly sour finish that dissipates quickly.

Pours from the bottle a hazy, orange-yellow color with a very big white head that fades slowly. Aroma contains a light banana, clove, lemon, wheat and sour yeast note. Flavor has a very light banana, clove, some citrus lemon present in the early flavors but all fade to a moderately strong wheat presence and sour yeast note at the end. Thin body, bubbly texture and no lacing. Overall an okay brew but the lemon flavor is a bit on the high side and makes it slightly rough in my opinion.

Apple juice color, medium-light body, hollow middle and finish. Nice carbonation but a slight ’urine’ aroma was off-putting. A tinge of citron was noted as well as rice-y undertones.

(Draught) Poured golden and hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma contained lightly banana and some fruitiness. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Tasted of fruitiness, banana, malts, lightly sweet and also lightly bitter. Fruity aftertaste.

bottle: weizen: pours a light amber, fairly cloudy, leaving a thin head ring. Smells a bit funky and dark... the taste has familiar hefe notes yet considerably more maccabre... some cloves, medium to high carbonation... not too deep a beer.
