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 from a sampler. Hazy light orange pour with a small head. Aroma of Fruit Loops. Taste is lemon, orange, mango, other fruits. Fairly sweet and very artificial. Though, I guess it’s a good thing when your fruit punch is 5+ %.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with loads of carbonation, the head was thin and white. The aroma is citrus and wheat/yeasty. The taste was somewhat bland wheat with some citrus.

Nice aroma, rather attractive and inviting. Fragrance of yeast with body. Hypnotizing swirling pour inside a pale yellow brew. Varying carbonation; at times its creamy, other times you can barely tell there is any there. Wheatish taste but I don’t care for that slight ale attribute. Mild and friendly for the most part. Not much bitterness on the finish. Some very slight hints of lemon on the sides of the tongue.

Nice golden coloured body with a hazy orange glow and a strong white head. Light aroma of yeast and wheat with a bit of coriander seed also coming through. Light to Medium-bodied; Nice wheatie flavour with some lemons, oranges and coriander seed very noticeable. Aftertaste is a bit more potent with some sweetness, curacao and a faint bit of hops. Overall, a decent wheat - nothing horrible, and good for a hot day! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 05-April-2008.

Bottle at J’s Bistro. Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is citrus and lemon. The taste is very grassy and tart. Not too much going on with this wheat ale from Tommyknocker.

Bottle, thanks to Papsoe for sharing. Clear, almost golden pour, and a minimal white head. Looks hazy in the bottle. Lemongrass dominates the aroma and flavor, but it is also fruity, slighlty soapy and with pale malt. Medium, dry and slightly dusty mouthfeel. A quite special beer, but feels refreshing, and I bet it goes down easy on a hot day. (071005)

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy nose. Light in body with a soft mouthfeel an lightly sweet, wheaty accents. Distinct and pleasant accents of the added lemon grass. Almost no bitterness. Close to being the perfect summer quencher. 051007

35.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a quickly gone head. Soapy lemon aroma with a mild wheat aroma beneath. Flavour is quite lemonish and soft wheaty. Ends slight citric. Seems thin.

Cloudy golden color, medium foaming head, leaving minimal lacing in the glass. Aroma typical of American wheat, with notes of lemon zest and grainy wheat. Flavor dominated by wheat and citrus, with a moderate unintegrated bitterness at the finish. Left a long grainy bitterness on the palate.
