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.

Bottle: Clear golden with a finger of creamy white head. Faint aroma is malty. Crisp wheat in the taste at first, but mellows out quickly with a fruity and maltiness. Becomes rather dull quickly.

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, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Cloudy golden colour with very brief, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, peaches, vanilla and distinct bubble-gum aromas. Fruity taste with notes of peaches, mandarin, citrus and hints of sweet candy. Finish is slightly spicy but not overly sweet. Thin body. Rather fresh but on the boring side.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-gold color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sweetish, peppery and lightly yeasty. The flavor was sweettart candies with with touches of artificial citrus and yeastiness. Decent body. Ok.
