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).

a cloudy gold under a very large cream white head. aroma is full of lemon pepper which i assume is the lemongrass. the flavor is grainy, almost nutty. nothing like a hefe but it’s not bad. light bodied and crisp and not overly carbonated....drinks smooth. if it didn’t have such a lame ass name it might have potential to dominate the macro-chuggin’ college bar scene!

Hazy straw yellow with a quickly fading white head. Aroma of lemongrass, grassy hops and yeast. Taste matches the aroma, kinda weak and bland. Grainy body is a bit astringent and has a herbal hop finish.

slight murky yellow pour with a thin layer of white froth. yeasty scent along with notes of orange. the flavor is all fruits and the carbonation is a little too much.

Hazy yellow color. Strong lemon aroma. Not much like any traditional hefe. Lots of citrus and a dry finish

I never got why people rave about this brewery. Sort of been let down with stuff I’ve have tried of thiers. Not very good Hefe at all. Left a filmy feeling on my tongue and did not get any of that classic hefe refrshment. The commercial note says it is a vegetable beer, which makes more sense cause at times I felt like I was drinking stewed zuccini.

Hazy yellow color with faint white head. Orange/citrus aroma with a slight hop bite in the flavor coupled with the citrus undertone.

12 oz. bottle. Poured cloudy yellow with fizzy head that quickly resolved. Lemony, grassy nose. Citrus, wheaty, yeasty flavor.
