Commercial Description:
An American-style wheat ale brewed with 30% malted wheat and 2 row barley. Low hopping rates allow the refreshing aroma and citrus flavor of a late addition of lemon grass to dominate. This unfiltered beer retains all of its protein, flavor, and some of its yeast, resulting in a traditionally cloudy appearance. 2000 North American Brewers Asc. Gold Medal

12 oz. bottle pours dark yellowish gold with lots of internal carbonation but no head. Not opaque as I’d expected for an unfiltered beer. Mild aroma of corn and wheat. Flavor is of mild lemongrass perhaps with a finish of yeast and hops. Perhaps it is my untrained palate but this is a poor example of an unfiltered wheat ale with little to no flavor at all.

This beer pours gold with a slight chill haze that fades as it warms up. The aroma is apparently devoid of all hop aroma. Slight maltiness, vague fruitiness (almost like the dried rasberry aroma from the raspberry black tea my wife drinks.) Not bad, but infinitely forgettable

Bottled@SBWF2008. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, fudge, caramel and some mild hints of hops. Flavour is hops, fruits, wheat and some grassy notes. Refreshing.

A golden pour with a tiny head. Has a citrusy taste with a dry taste of wheat thats just barely there. Has a bit of a bite and sweet finish.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy golden, small head. Orangey vanilla aroma with notes of buckwheat. Mid-sweet with rounded mouthfeel.. Slightly orangey with a bit of soap. Medium bitterness.

Hazy yellow with tiny white head. Sweet aroma with notes of yeast and wheat. Sweet and somewhat perfurmed flavour with yeast, fruits and wheaty notes. Ends sweet.
