Caleb1035 (63), , North Carolina, USA 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 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 (3515), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA 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 (422), Greenville, Michigan, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle.Golden straw color,with a giant white soapy head. Nose of lemon and banana. Medium body,creamy texture,and mouthfeel. Crisp finish. Not a bad beer,I like it better than traditional German Hefe. maltdog (510), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA 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 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! chicagodri (1020), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow with a thick white head. Light aroma of wheat and some lemongrass. Really though, this was a very disappointing hefeweizen. It was very mild and had very little flavor. I know I have turned into a beer snob, but it was almost a drain pour for me since I knew I had some Lost Abbey in the fridge. wheelz843 (203), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 2, 2008 bottle.slight citrus aroma. light orange in color very little head. very smooth with a bit of a grassy taste.
