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.

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.
