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).

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Fleeting white head over a clear dark yellow body. Sweet honey aroma. Slightly sweet tart flavor but no real character. Thin.

Meh. Typical hefe look, citrus dominates the aroma. Taste is citrus and yeast. Overall average, albeit decent hefe. The editors note explains why its so odd.

Odd beer for sure. This was the first Magic Hat Beer I tried while in Vermont. Not what I expected. Cloudy yellowish/gold color. White head. Tart aroma, maybe some yeast, vinegar, grains. Taste is odd, some sweetness and some grains. Something odd...the lemongrass I guess? Drinkable, but not the best.

Magic Hat Brewery night at Three Cellars Milwaukee. More a Hefeweizen, by taste a good easy drinking beer.

Pours a hazy straw color with a medium white sudsy head. Funky aroma, some vinegar, mustard seed, lemon, and light wheat. Grainy wheaty taste, sweet and lightly bitter, lots of lemongrass and coriander. Very light bodied, ample carbonation, feels thin in the mouth. Sugary without purpose... I like the Lemongrass... but the sweetness overshadows it.

Bottle. Standard appearance, yellow, small white head. Mild grassy some yeast aroma. Standard aste, maybe a bit light, light wheat, mild yeast, some grassy flavours. Serviceable and drinkable, did not leave much of an impression.

12oz bottle, easy to gulp not much flavor, kind of bland and boring, sure there is lemongrass and some other mild flavors, nothing standoutish.. just boring.

The Dan Journal #218. 12oz bottle. Tasted 7/28/08. Hazy with a pale yellow hue. Ring of off-white head. Mildly musty aromas. Earthy and hoppy. Soggy fruits. Doughy and candy. Apples and citrus. Pineapple and lemon. Interesting, but odd...
