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).

From a bottle poured a light hazy golden color with a fair amount of head. Nice light citrus flavor with a quick finish.

Pours light yellow, small diminishing head. Nose is hard to determine, I wasn’t getting much in terms of aroma, maybe some wheat. Taste has minute amounts of lemon and wheat. Overall I agree with the description, as this is not a Hefeweizen, and I actually think I could enjoy this as a "refreshing" beer.

Not a hearty or particularly flavorful weiss. Kinda bland, but smooth and pedestrian finish. Doesn’t ask a lot from the drinker-- similar to Harpoon UFO.

bottle A dark orange apperance with a white head. The aroma contains some oranges and bananas. The flavor is somewhat sour with a bready presence. More bananas present in the flavor. The palate is rather thin as well. Overall not much to this one.

Pouring a skinny head, barely a finger’s worth of foamy white over an orange body. Surely this is the darkest wheat beer I’ve come across. The aroma was simply "odd"; I just cannot get a handle on what it smells like. Not unpleasant, just hard to identify. Taste, well, could be some kinda spices resident but damned if I can tell what. This really is not a wheat beer, is it? Mouthfeel was the thickest and fullest of any so-called wheat.

Pours hazy yellow with a decent white head. Aromas of lemon and wheat. Tastes of strong lemongrass which really tones down the bitterness of the wheat. A faint detection of a peppery spice. Finishes with a slice bitter wheat taste. Overall the beer is decent but not outstanding.

Bottle - pours pale yellow with a long lasting white head and decent lacing. Lemon flavors with a touch of hops on the end, not strongly carbonated which I like. Whether this is a Hefeweizen or not, I think this is a good beer and would buy again.
