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 an orange color that is not very cloudy with a minimal head. The taste is mainly of lemon, a bitter lemon, there was also some wheat taste and it has a watery taste.

Pours a cloudy golden color. The aroma is very interesting. Not something I was expecting from a bottle called hefeweizen. Aroma is lemon and slight wheat. Fruit flavor comes through. Somewhat of a quick finish and medium bodied beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours golden yellow with a dark swirl of yeast and a finger and a half of whitish head. Aroms is spice and citrus, and after a few sniffs, all that lemongrass makes it smell more and more like herbal tea. The flavor is essentially the same, lemony and herbal with a very soft malt backing. Clean finish. Ok, but a little bit boring.

The Dan Journal #218. 12oz bottle. Tasted 7/28/08. Hazy with a pale yellow hue. Ring of off-white head. Mildly musty aromas. Earthy and hoppy. Soggy fruits. Doughy and candy. Apples and citrus. Pineapple and lemon. Interesting, but odd...

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.

Because this said hefeweizen on the bottle, I was not expecting much. That said, I found myself enjoying the balance between the bitter lemon/fruit and some decent malt flavors. This wasn’t a knockout but I was pleasantly surprised.

Bottle. Copper-orange. 1/2" foam. Lightly carbonated. Wheaty, grassy, orange-peel scents. Tangy taste, with clear banana and yeast qualities. Thin body. OK - my wife loves it and any beer she likes is a winner in my book.
