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).

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.

Thanks 17thfloor! Pours a slightly hazy yellow orange color with a small white froth. Aroma is very grainy though still fruity. Some mild banana and citrus are present. Flavor starts with a lot of wheat and grain. Picks up some mild banana and spices. As quick as the fruitiness comes it goes away and even more grain returns. Tiny bit of tartness before the long wheaty aftertaste. Medium body and average carbonation. Not a great hefeweizen but it is still refreshing.

Poured out of a bottle, Golden Yellow with thick white head that quickly disapeers. Not much of an aroma. Nice citrus flavor and drinks smooth.
