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).

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a slightly hazy strongly carbonated yellow colored body. The mild aroma was malty and dirty sock. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of mild hops dough and wheat. An OK brew just nothing special.

This poured a clousy yellow color with a white head. Aroma was slightly spicey, lemongrass and yeast. Flavor was slighty spicey, the lemongrass really stood out. Nothing great here, but pretty refreshing.

Good but not great. Standard summer brew. Typical of the style with hints of citrus.

(bottle) Pours hazy light gold with a lingering white head. Aroma is lemony, wheaty, musty, with a little bit of yeast and some clove accompanying the dominant lemon scent. The taste is pretty grainy and dry, with a lot of yeast on the finish. There is a faint sweetness here, but it does not resemble the banana flavors of better hefes. There is a spike of a mineral flavor before the finish. The finish, however, turns out really well, and the yeast clears out to a pleasant pineapple/ambrosia salad like flavor. I think that’s the lemongrass talking. Mouthfeel is medium and carbonation is lively.

Bottle from mixer 12 pack. Cloudy orange amber with small white head. Aroma is sweet lemongrass with some grain, citrus and sulphur. Flavor is slightly sulphur with citrus and lemon, orange, the lemongrass gives off a slight sourness as well, wheat is also very prominent. Medium creamy body. Really young, the sulphur is really strong.

12 oz. bottle from Bigg’s. Pours mostly clear gold with a little haze and an initially big, frothy white head that diminishes quickly. Underwhelming aroma of lemon, wheat and not much else. Sweet, tangy flavor of lemongrass, wheat, bread. Slightly bitter and tart finish of medium length.
