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).

Circus Boy by Magic Hat wasn’t that good at all. I wouldn’t recommend trying it. not worth the money spent

Pours hazy yellow. Somewhat soda all around. Rather a lemony sweetness to it.

This brew scores a 6 on my random 12 BCS. As with most Hefeweizens i see this as a drunk sorority girl giving a BJ. I choked it down with feelings of regret afterwards.

This beer does not work on many levels. First its too fizzy. Too much carbination. The malts are too weak with hardly any hops flavor to go with it. the lemongrass also makes it uninspiring.

Pours a milky translucent tan, with a foamy white 2 finger head. Aroma is standard for a hefe, mostly citrusy wheat scent. Hint of peach, but mostly orange and lemon. Flavor is interesting. A bit different from most hefes that I’ve tried, but I can’t exactly put my finger on where. A bit more hop in the aftertaste than I’m used to with hefes, but it fits well. Generally the flavor is mostly wheat and citrus. There’s nothing too special about this particular hefe, but it is a hefe, and I’m a fan of hefes, and thus my score will be higher than most who aren’t. Definitely a good solid brew.

Poured from a bottle to a tumbler. Had a hazy, amber appearance with little head. Underwhelming aroma with some spices evident. The flavor was muted to a certain degree. Not overly impressive in this category. This beer seems to confuse subtlety with lack of existence. Not as interesting as its European hefeweizen cousins.

Bottle. Please drink by end of: February. Pours a murky copper with a thin light-tan head. Lemony, wheaty aroma. Medium to thin-bodied. Starts with a bit of caramel and transitions nicely to some yeasty, lemony flavors. Very subtle herbal qualities throughout. Finishes a bit dry.
