Dah da da dah!!!! add a lemon and youre set. Good times in the woods in the middle of winter drinking this. trying to finish it before it froze in the bottle. mmm....lemony beer slushy.

I love this beer and this brewery. Tied as my favorite between Dogfish Head and Magic Hat. Unfiltered Hefeweizen. I loved it. And still love it.

awesome beer ...poured in a glass did the suggested twirl with quarter of the beer left in bottle delicious beer keep coming back a little less fruity then the secretive number nine but sweet and tangy nonetheless great stuff and the bottle graphic is creepy the eyes in the cage ...chills up the spine haha

Magic Hat offers an amazing hefeweizen with a twist. The lemongrass complements a summery-type flavor. I’ll admit it looks a bit hazy after the pour, but the flavor is well worth it. One of my favorites.

Bottle from joes garage.. Hefenwiesens are an aquired tasted and I loved it.. But a buddy of mine hated it... love the lemongrass flavor.

Interesting and flavorful wheat beer that stylistically is a hefeweizen but with the addition of lemon grass. Pours to a hazy, pale yellow color, with a thick, tall, creamy, white head, and a vibrant carbonation. The nose is intresting with aromas of lemon grass/cirtrus aroma, with hints of esters of banana, and clove. The palate is firm, with good, tart, malted wheat flavor, paired with esters of fruit, and some lemon grass/citrus flavor. This beer finishes with more wheat malt up front, then ends spicy with some notes of citrus/lemon grass that lingers. This is one of those, love it or hate it type of beers. Many beer lovers will find this beer to be a failure and hate it. I personally liked this one. I enjoyed the addition of lemon grass, and being a big fan of Thai food, I could see matching this beer up with a papaya salad, or with coconut lemon grass soup. Would also work well with pad thai, or red and green curries.

Poured from bottle. A bit of sediment was at bottom of bottle. But no worries - this was a very pleasant surprise. Aroma of malt, spice and lemon. Spice, bread, lemon and rye flavors dance in your mouth ’like a monkey on barbed wire’. Just a tinge of metallic aftertaste, which disappears after a few sips. Yep, this circus boy steals the show.

Poured into a pint glass from the tap. The color a cloudy gold color, is unfiltered, with a foamy white head. The smell is lemon with a touch of hops. The taste is bready, has a bit of a lemony tang to is and has slightly bitter Taste: Tastes bready, with hints of citrus. Slight bitterness toward the end. This beer is one of the better wheat beers I’ve ever had. It might be the best. I was pretty surprised that this beer turned out to be quite good.
