Commercial Description:
This is a light wheat ale brewed with 50% malted wheat and a blend of pale, carastan, and Munich malts, lightly hopped with Perle and Mt. Hood hops. It has a pronounced wheat character, best described as a "soft" maltiness, and is usually rather fruity due to the high fermentation temperature. Hefeweizen is an excellent beer to recommend to people who are new to microbrews. It is a subtle way to introduce real beer flavor.

Eh, really weak grainy malt - kind of sour wheat with a lot of lemon. Somewhat dry and moderate yeast.

Sampled at the Bend pub. Pours hazy gold with little head. Annoying lemon slice included. Pretty plain hefe. Tasted weak and bland to me.

On tap at the source in Bend, OR--Murky, cloudy, burnt golden-orange-maize hue with a tiny white-laced head. Served with a lemon so it was difficult to determine how much lemon smell was because of this addition or from beer itself. Lemony, citrus, wheaten esters. Crisp, chalky, and refreshing. Dry-sweet finish. Quite good.

1/1/08 At the BrewPub with Bikesandbeer after a day’s drive from Portland, Brewery 5 of the trip. Pours cloudy orange with a bright white head with lots of lacing, served with a lemon that we discarded. Nose is light wheat with lingering lemon. Taste is sweet light not bad not amazing.
