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 ok at best. The lemongrass was a noble idea and certinally shows through the beer. The Aroma was pretty faint, some yeast, some citrus. Flavor starts of like lemon dish soap, but gets a bit better. The flavor certinally features a lemon grass however there is a lightly roasted malt flavor as well. Not much else going on though.

Hazy gold with light, white head / Sour, spicy nose / Medium body, low carbonation, creamy with decent finish / Flavors of orange peel, lemon, wheat, honey, and coriander / Not pickup up the lemongrass exactly, or the hefeweizen character, but a nice, fruity wheat.

Typical cloudy wheat beer. Nothing sticks out separating this one from the others. Unimpressed.

355 ml bottle from a mixed sixer that my dad brought back from his recent trip to the states. pours a slightly hazed golden with an everlasting white head. aroma of hair salon (no really thats what i thought of every time i took a pull), and some sweet citrus. bland flavours that do not represent the claim that this is a hefe. not banana or cloves. not really much of anything. easy to drink and refreshing but overall forgetable.
