This was a nice beer to have after making the 10 minute or so walk off the strip in Las Vegas in over 100 degree heat. Nothing fancy abou tit. Poured a light hazy yellow. Had a light body. Pretty much all I got was the lemon taste from it, but that probably came more from the lemon wedge in the beer. But it really did hit the spot. And I can’t say it enough, it only cost a dollar for the pint.

Again, had a taste of the grimreesers and with the lemon in it, it pretty much tasted like mikes hard lemonade mixed with a hefe.

More of an american style hefe. Lemon was in it, it overpowered everything else in it. Better than the others I tried at Ellis Island, which isn’t saying much.

Cloudy yellow with a thick white head. Light, lemony aroma. Banana flavor stands out, but with a dirty undertone, maybe from too much yeast. Slight bitter wheaty finish. Very light and boring.

Had at the Village Pub. They have this and the amber on tap. Smells like a hefe faintly. Very light-white yellow cloudy coloring. The tate on this is actually pretty decent. A light flavor but not that wheaty. Really pleasantly surprised by this.

Enjoyed this one on draught at the casino/brewery in Las Vegas. Hard to argue with $1 pints of this beer, and it really hit the spot in the blazing Vegas heat. Pours to a cloudy, pale golden color, with a rocky white head, and a good bit of carbonation. Not much going on in the nose, just a hint of citrus can be detected. The palate is lean, but with some good, crisp, and tart, wheat malt character. Lacks the signature fruity esters of a classic Bavarian hefe, but again, was very drinkable. This beer finishes with a touch more tart wheat malt up front, then ends with some mild cirtus bitterness. A decent pint for $1, but clearly not a Baravian hefe, rather an American wheat. A good drinking beer in the Vegas heat, one you could pound with impunity.

Draught at Brewery-Nice white head on a hazy yello brew. No real hefe qualities. A bitter bite on the back end. Needs more flavor.

Draught at the brewpub
Cloudy blond color. Light fudge aroma. Very common taste, no wheat, some toffee.
