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).

Pours out a slightly cloudy golden yellow color. Small white head. Aroma is somewhat wheaty and citrusy. Flavor is very lemony. Blah. If i wanted a bottle of lemonade, then i would have bought one. I thought i was getting a hefe, but as the editors note states, its not. I love to be fooled. Nothing makes me more happier. Maybe they should consider changing the label.

Wheat beer indeed, but I agree with the editors note, it is very lemony. Fresh beer, remarkably perfect for warm weather, and probably the best beer I’ve ever had from Magic Hat, and it purely murders there Hocus Pocus wheat.

Bottled. Not a bad beer. Not enough "hefe" in this one for me. Little on the weak side.

Bottle. Orange/lemon, clove and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy orange-yellow color with medium head. Lemon wheat malt flavor. Given the editor’s note, I bumped this up - it’s a pretty nice herb beer but wouldn’t really fly compared to most hefes.

Golden color with a nlight lemon aroma. Medium palate. The taste is wheat, lemon and some yeast. Pretty easy to drink--but nothing special.

Bottled. Pours a cloudy yellow/clear like a hefeweizen with a small head that goes away quickly. Almost no smell, but what is there is metallic with grass and citrus. Almost no taste, tasting like a cheap beer with hops after taste. Definitely not a repeat. and just something to drink with no flavor.

Pours a four-fingered white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Almost clear amber color, ton of yeast on bottom of bottle. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Yeasty nose. Starts sweet, some yeast, piney aftertaste. 12 oz bottle, gift from Vintage Cellars Blacksburg, VA. Best by Nov 2006.
