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).

Pours a cloudy amber color with a nice white head that dissipates quickly. Has a fresh, citrusy yeast aroma with a mild taste to match. Lightly carbonated. Goes nicely with a meal, doesn’t overpower, or is refreshing on it’s own.

Pours a cloudy golden color, with a light citrus aroma (lemon I guess). Still light in body but it does taste more like a fruit or spice beer, than a heif. Not bad by any means and would definitely enjoy in the summer.

Reminds me a lot of No.9, except without the exceptionally unique fruity flavor.

I was disappointed that it was deemed a Hefeweizen on the bottle. It has a decent taste, but definately not that of a hefeweizen. It has an almost artificial taste to it.

I knew this wasn’t a hefeweizen the first time I drank it because I kind of liked it. It’s hazy like a hefe, but not as earthy/sour. Definitely the lemongrass influence. Not my fave from the boys in South Burlington, but I’ve seen many poorer attempts at doing something new.

Light and astringent with little to speak of on the taste spectrum. Easy to drink and great to session, but lacks body and flavor.
