An American-style wheat ale brewed with malted. 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.

Hazy golden grain-colored beer. Very grainy wheat malt nose, no noticible fruitiness or hops. Flavor is completely bland: a touch of wheat, but otherwise just neutral graininess. Not a hint of yeast character. Low bitterness, no hop flavor. Body is watery and flat.
This is a beer that has no reason to exist.

Pours a nice yellow/orange color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice one-finger thick/creamy off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, yeasty, grassy. The taste is hoppy, slightly malty, yeasty, grassy. Medium body. Overall, a pretty tasty brew.

L: I love the cloudy orange look to this beer and it had a decent head on it too. A great start for this beer.
S: Not much on the nose just a little bit of lemon/citrus scent to it but it is very faint.
T: I got applesauce and that's about it on this one. It's not terrible but it just is not what I was expecting and in this case that was not a good thing.
F: The feel is a little thin and watery but wasn't to bad.
Overall: This one is just ok it could be worse but it could have been a lot better too.
