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).

Decent beer, tastes just like a pretty typical hefeweizen to me. Maybe a little more lemon than usual. Some yeastiness to the flavor. Light bodied and a little watery, but very refreshing.

12 oz bottle. Poured hazy gold in color with a small white head. Aroma has mostly grassy notes. Taste is basically lemongrass with fruity esters. Leftover citrus and sweetness in the finish. I expected better.

Somerville Beer Carnival 06 - Bottle. Pours orangish and clear. Aroma not really like a hefe. Taste has a little wheat and a lot of citrus and grassyness. Bad alcohol flavor and pretty thin. If this is a hefe it’s not a good one.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy yellow/orange with a soft foamy white head. Smells of lemon, grains, and soured malt. Tastes of lemon, orange peel, the wheat flavor is a little funky, and some seasoning. The only reason this isnt rated better is because of something funky or sour. Like bad malt or slightly spoiled wheat.

Lite citrus, grainy, earthy, wheat aroma. Cloudy golden-white with lasting head. Mild wheat, citrus, grains, and mildly sweet malt flavour. Smooth with mild bitter finish.

Bottle - Ahh Circus Boy, what a trip. Had this a while back with a 20 or so beer session and it took the top spot for what ever reason. I think it was the overall pleasant weirdness that won us over(9) people) Texture, earth spice and hop mix just clicked, although I had this just recently and something about it just not what I remembered. Still, I like the beer from these guys and not at all bad, good stuff to try.

Bottle courtesy MrBunn.Yep..not so tasty.Pours light sparkling yellow with a fizzy head. Aromas of Lemons grass light malt and a shade of pepper. Very sweet palate. Rather poor. A lot like a Coors light. Eh.

Pours hazy lemon color with a big white head. Aroma is slightly citrusy, flavor is of light wheat malt and citrus. Fairly weak but decent.
