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).

Its always nice to find a beer that is unique, something that seperates itself from others of the same style... this is definitely one of those beers. Has a very strong lemon scent and a powerful dry lemon flavor, definitely caught me off guard with the hefeweizen label.

slight murky yellow pour with a thin layer of white froth. yeasty scent along with notes of orange. the flavor is all fruits and the carbonation is a little too much.

Hazy yellow color. Strong lemon aroma. Not much like any traditional hefe. Lots of citrus and a dry finish

I never got why people rave about this brewery. Sort of been let down with stuff I’ve have tried of thiers. Not very good Hefe at all. Left a filmy feeling on my tongue and did not get any of that classic hefe refrshment. The commercial note says it is a vegetable beer, which makes more sense cause at times I felt like I was drinking stewed zuccini.

Hazy yellow color with faint white head. Orange/citrus aroma with a slight hop bite in the flavor coupled with the citrus undertone.
