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 a hazy pale yellow with slight orange hues. There is a very nice large white, frothy head that has decent retention and very nice lacing. Aroma is slightly floral and sort of fruity and a bit earthy. Flavor is sort of citrusy and nice subtle lemon flavors at the end. It could be a bit bolder. It is nice and easy on the palate and very drinkable. Not my favorite but not something I would pour down the drain.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light amber with a small white head. Light aroma of lemon, spices, caramel and some wheat. A thin flavor of lemon, yeast and wheat. Almost no aftertaste, a boring beer.

Bottle. Hazy deep gold pour. Wheat and lemon on the nose, but a pretty non-descript taste.

This was a very average and watery wheat beer. I didnt taste anything special in the form of hops or malting. Very bland and almost watery.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a hazy pale amber colour with a low creamy white head. Weak aroma of bakers yeast pears and caramel. Lightt-bodied with clean notes of yeast and mild lemon. Short finish with touches of bakers yeast, lemon and caramel.

Pours deep hazy brown, no head. Aroma, of wheat, lemongrass and yeast. Hints of malt. Flavor, malty presence, lemongrass, medium carbonation, sweet wheat palate, some hints of yeast. Wheat / malt more forward followed by lemon finish.

Hazy light amber with a white head. Nose is light spices with a hint of lemon. Light palate with a bland flavor light on the wheat and lemon. Hint of lemon in the aftertaste though.

Another loser from the mixed pack. Poor example of a wheat beer. Lack of flavor, character, and body. This might be the worst in the bunch

Pours clean translucent light amber until the slurry is poured, adds some haze. Profuse creamy white head. Nose is strange, definitely a clean yeast, some wheat character, no estery aspect. Mild sweetness, green apple skins, mild fruityness, bready. Flavor is bleh, very bland, some wheat character, grassy, mild sweetness. No carbonation on the palate, kind of slick.
