Panzuriel (992), Westerville, Ohio, USA Nov 26, 2007 Hazy golden yellow pour with a thick head of small bubbles. Mild malty nose with light hops presence. Pleasant and without off scents. Tangy light and refreshing taste. Finishing with some faint hops. Body fluid and fizzy in a good way. Subversive (11), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Nov 25, 2007 Very strong citrus flavoring, probably due to the lemongrass. Cloudy amber hue. Wish I could get it on tap. molsonfan9000 (59), geneva, New York, USA Nov 21, 2007 Really liked this beer. Pours really cloudy off amber with no head. Smell is citusy almost hopsy. Flavor is very lemony. Mouthfeel is smooth and dry. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Nov 21, 2007 slightly cloudy golden appearance. flavor is interesting, with a lemony component, the mouthfeel is light for a weizen with almost a soda like consistency. not very good jobyone (234), Charlotte, USA Nov 15, 2007 Pours cloudy golden color with creamy head. Aroma is full of citrus especially lemon. Taste is sweet and refreshing dry finish. dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Nov 14, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy tan, with a lose white head that laces well. Weird plastic aroma. Medium body, with a tangy wheat flavor. Also some floral flavors as well, must be the lemongrass. bernie896 (3), USA does not count Nov 9, 2007 Found this in a winter variety 12-pack at Charlotte NC supermarket.
Pours a hazy, opaque apple cider color with a fizzy white head. Active carbonation evident in quickly dissipating head with little lacing.
Citrus and spice on the nose, most specifically orange peel. Aroma is light and fresh.
In terms of flavor, not much of the citrus promised in the nose. Medium-light body livened by active carbonation. Subtle malt flavors through a relatively dry and short finish. A slightly off sour note in the background is noticeable with the absence of a strong flavor profile.
Overall, not a particularly engaging beer, especially in terms of flavor. Light and refreshing, however, probably a good choice for an outdoor summer event.
Just found out this has lemongrass added - taste that now. Agree with The BeerLover that this would go well with Thai food. jrob21 (1250), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 25, 2007 Pours a cloudy golden color. The aroma is very interesting. Not something I was expecting from a bottle called hefeweizen. Aroma is lemon and slight wheat. Fruit flavor comes through. Somewhat of a quick finish and medium bodied beer.
