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).

Hazy golden beer, part of a winter "Feast of Fools" pack. Noticeable lemon and wheat flavors, very smooth and easy to drink. Maybe it’s not a hefeweizen, but it is a darn good drink.

Hazy golden color. Slight flavors of wheat, lemon and hops. Not much of an aroma.

12oz. Hazy golden with a thin white head. Little aroma, there’s loads of carbonation here that make it kind of interesting I guess. Some banana in the mouth, but mostly thin malt. This is one of the reasons wheat beer has a bad rap.

This beer is a hazy golden color with a medium thin ivory head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Light citrus and wheat aroma. Thin body with light fruit, wheat and herb flavors. The finish is fruity and short with a mild spice aftertaste. Just not very good though.

A lemony, fizzy hefeweizen, vegetal notes, a little sweet with a dry finish. So lemongrass is what gives it a unique flavor - give them points for originality. Another fine creation from Magic Hat.

Bottle Hazy straw pour with no head. Wheaty and lemony aroma and flavor. Definitely a spice rather than hefe. Decent brew, but not really my style.

Bottle and draft. Grassy, yeasty,and wheaty with weird metalic bitter finish.
