| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 2, 2008 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. TeamBigEvil (13), , Massachusetts, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours to golden body with large head that disipates quickly. Doesn’t really smell that nice. Nothing noteworthy here. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Aroma is as advertised, a bit of lemony citrus, and of course the yeast common to hefeweizen, although it’s muted here. The initial pour was fantastic, with a larger than life, white fluffy head and somewhat cloudy yellow body, but then the head collapsed a bit to a thinner collar. It’s flavor is sort of ordinary, but the citrus flavor and yeast shine through. It’s mildly tart, and easy drinking, light and not filling a nice session. Rciesla (3590), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 12, 2008 Bottle brought a sixer to a KD party in Jersey City. Pours a hazy orange yellow body with an off white head. Lots of wheat spices lemon, orange, and apricot. A solid offering i thought. WakeandBake (427), Greenville, Michigan, USA

Medium body,creamy texture,and mouthfeel. Crisp finish. Not a bad beer,I like it better than traditional German Hefe. maltdog (514), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 3/10 | 5/5 | 6/20 | Oct 10, 2008 **Here is the beer as I rated it in my notes, thinking it was a witbier. As a hefeweizen, it is so unbelievably off base, and thus rates even lower numbers.** The cloudy, lemon yellow ale features impressively luxurious and lasting foam. Toasty aromatics barely edge out dried manure funk and rotting orchard fruits. A toasted English muffin flavor has suggestions of apple, lemon curd, and pineapple. Finishing briskly tart, the ale offers a strange mildewy aftertaste. The palate is wonderfully smooth and creamy with vigorous yet soft carbonation. There is actually a very nice wit in there, if you can see past the weird phenols. This probably would have been worlds better paired with some ripe soft cheese and a hunk of crusty ryebread. taalhiker (179), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 5, 2008 From bottle. Cloudy yellow color with scant head. Very strange aroma and taste. I guess it’s a combination of lime and lemon. The lemongrass description makes sense now. Pass!
