Ingredients

The brewery's menu names only lemongrass. A third party club listing for the same beer under the name Jack Whacker Wheat adds 2-row, Munich and wheat malts and Perle hops, and confirms the lemongrass (Beer of the Month Club). No yeast is named anywhere.

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for American-Style Wheat Beer calls for low to medium bitterness, 10 to 35 IBU and 3.5 to 5.6 percent ABV. The published 4.6% ABV and 15 IBU fit inside both ranges.

Research Notes

  • The brewery has no individual beer pages; its drink menu is the beer url.
  • ABV conflict: the brewery menu says 4.6%, Beer of the Month Club says 4.7%; the brewery figure is used. Both sources agree on 15 IBU.
  • Hops and malts come only from the club listing, not from the brewery.
  • No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the drink menu and a web search found no brewery tasting notes, yeast, color, gravity, water or process detail; hop form, use and source stay unpublished.
  • Brewery site scrape 2026-10-14: found nothing new; 5 pages tried (robots.txt obeyed, one request every few seconds per host).
  • Second deep dive pass 2026-10-14 (web search, press (Denver Gazette GABF roundup)): found nothing new; 3 pages tried. Nothing new. Search results cover the older Jack Whacker Wheat (4.7% per a subscription club), reviewer notes only, no brewery tasting notes or brewing details.
