Spring got sprung with this funky monkey. We dropped a big stash of Lemondrop hops into both the kettle and the dry hop – delivering a big citrus blast – and topped it off with a Lemongrass addition for a refreshing twist. Light in body with bright citrus notes, this is an extremely complex but very easy drinking brew.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a golden/orange color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of citrus hops. Taste is citrus, a wheat sharpness, hints of lemongrass, highly refreshing. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall is a beer I may need to revisit during the summer.

Appearance: Semi-clear golden with a full-on off-white head. Ghostly wall of lace.

Aroma: Crisp lemongrass, zest and citrus hops. Nice and unique vibe here.

Taste: Very fruity up front with lemongrass and spice notes. Plenty of wheat malts to balance this exceptionally drinkable ale. Really liked it.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white head. Retention is minimal but leaves lots of even lacing.
Lemongrass up front in the nose. Finishes with a slight non lingering bitterness.
The taste comes in the same. This is a lemongrass beer for sure. Simple yet delicious
Mouthfeel is refreshing and the carbonation is great for this style.
A hot day type of beer. I would buy this again if i could find it in six packs.

S: Light citrus and grains.

T/F: Light grains... lemony citrus, grass, and mild pine. Creamy carbonation and mouthfeel. Finish is lemongrass.

O: A pleasant light citrus-forward pale wheat ale. Nice mouthfeel.. super drinkable. Enjoyable but not particularly memorable.

This beer pours from the can to glass with a lite hazy gold color and with a nice off-white lite foam that unfornately disappears quickly.
The aroma is tropical citrus lemony harmony.
The taste has a great smooth citrtus and yes lemongrass flavor to it...very refreshing taste.
Palate is just the same...smooth and flavorful of citrus lemongrass.
I can't wait to use this beer in some of my asian inspired dishes !!!!
