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).

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.

This ??? poured a golden colour with a foamy bright white head. To the nose there are scents of pineapple, lemons, yeast and grass. First taste was smooth and a little watery with flavours of hopps and ripe fruit. The finish is hoppy?or lemony? Not too bad but thin.

Bottle Pours out a cloudy yellow with a hint of orange topped with a white head. Aroma of yeast and spice like a German hef. Picked up even a little clove. Tast of citrus and yeast quite the combo. odd
