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).

On tap, 9/9/07. Pours a very cloudy yellow with stark white foam, little bit of lacing. Aroma shows signs of yeast bite, little bit of malt in there too. Flavor starts off soft and builds to more of a strange yeast bite. Reminds me of a lot of recent beers that have a strange flavor resulting from 1056-ish yeasts, either I’m losing my mind or this yeast just doesn’t jive with me.

12oz bottle I had @ the Dream Away lodge in The berkshires. Pours golden with a bubbly bright white head. Nose has some wheaty characteristics. Taste is sweet, refined and pretty damn tasty. I’m going to have to differ with a lot of the recent raters, I thought it was pretty damn good.

This beer is hard for me to describe, but I think I found a two wors that work; totally nasty. The nose, color, and, flavor don’t bother me at all but the finish reminded me of caster oil, not very appealing.

Clear golden yellow with nice lacing of a white head. The aroma has malty citrusy aromas. Flavour is light and slightly grainy. Clean body that isn’t too watery. I wasn’t picking up too much from this one.

Another lifeless hef. very generic taste, nothing special. Also like a Amber with a cloudy look and a sniff of fruit.

bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a thin, dissipating head. There’s a good aroma of citrus and spice. The flavor is bland, particularly at first. The blend of citrus and spices comes out much more as it warms. Light bodied with lively carbonation, this brew is a decent wheat beer.

Pours a dark hazy orange color with some foamy white head. Aroma is very much citric hops, lemon and grapefruit, sweet grasses and a bit of pepper. Flavor is a bit watery but also a bit bitter and peppery, slight pineapple banana and yeast taste. Overall, pretty good.
