Commercial Description:
Select wheat joins with American Hops under the careful eye of the master brewer. The result is an entirely drinkable wheat beer, refreshing, rewarding and proper for any occasion. At your whim, add a thin sliver of lemon or not. Follow by quaffing your fill.

When we set about brewing our wheat beer, we strictly limited ourselves to one specific idea: to make an exceptionally drinkable wheat beer. Without the distractions of extravagant brewing techniques and exotic ingredients, the result is a truly honest American Hefeweizen appropriate for any occasion. Proper.

To me a wheat beer is like cooked rice -- bland and uninviting unless other elements are present to complement it and make it great. This wheat beer has a refreshing tang of lemon seemingly already added, making for a ready-made summer refresher. (It’s April and we all know the sultry days aren’t far ahead.) I don’t think they _really_ add lemon (though they might) -- it seems more like a clever mix of malts, or more likely specialized hops, that give a special geueze-like sour element found in more complex wheat beers to great betterment. In addition, Hefe Proper has a clean, crisp malty aroma and even pours a substantial quickly disappearing head for its style. Very well carbonated and extremely thick mouthfeel for a wheat beer. I give a very strong thumbs-up especially for those looking for summer refreshment.

On tap in Denver. Nice, light offerning from Breckenridge. Typical Hefe, nothing out of the ordinary but very satisfying. Re-rate, bottle. Ar: 3 Ap: 4 F: 3 P: 1 O: 4 Pours solid, cloudy gold with a nice head and lacing. Smells of corn and weak clover with faint bits of bubblegum. Tastes of watered corn and saccharin. Watery mouthfeel. If this is proper, give me trash. MUCH better on tap.

Bottle. Cloudy slightly dark yellow with a small white head. Citrus aroma. Slightly tangy and has a very nice crisp finish.

Bottle... Hazy, yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Beefy, yeasty nose with light citrus. The flavor is malty, but decently balanced... tangy and beefy as well. Medium-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes crisp and clean. Much better than expected... not one of my favorite styles. Solid American wheat.

The aroma was of stale bread, the appearance is a slightly foggy gold. The flavor is a wow... No lemon added to mine, yet a very lemon taste sweet aftertaste, I kinda like it. Overall nice.
