Poured from the bottle into a pint glass to drink. The beer had a somewhat fainter citrus and grassy hops and lemon aroma with some yeast. The beer had a somewhat cloudy gold-straw color with a smaller white head with average retention and cling. Its flavor was a sweet-bitter mixture, with some grainy and citrus tastes, but nothing really stood out. The beer was somewhat fuller and a touch watery with low carbonation and a lighter mouthfeel. Nothing really exciting about this beer, just decent.

Poured from the bottle, this brew was a hazy straw color with about half inch white foam cap that held for about two minutes. Large citrus profile in the aroma, oranges, some earthy damp grain. The flavor is not very complex, mild bitterness and some grassy notes. It’s fairly carbonated, not very complex, straight forward hef. It’s not great, not terrible.

Pours a 1 finger white head that faded pretty quickly. Body is a hazy pale orange. Head retention and lacing are average at best. Aroma is dominated by coriander and citrus. Sweet wheat is also in there. No hops are detected Taste is of orange peel and coriander. Flavors are pretty light, kind of bland. As usual, no hops are present. Mouth feel is watery. Head has no impact on the beer. Carbonation is well balanced Overall it is above average. It’s sessionable but the flavors are pretty boring. Dont think I’d buy this beer again

From notes but I have had this many time. Fresh from the tap in the summer seems to be the best so far. Ultra cloudy golden body with a thick white head. Aroma has citrus and wheat. Flavor is smooth, sweet, wheaty and citrus, lemon and citrus, zesty. Nice body.

A decent hefeweizen but nothing special. Serve cold with a lemon to bring out best flavors

Pours hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is funk and mildew with a hint of citrus. Tastes dirty with a muted bitter finish. Not a great Hefeweizen.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Slightly cloudy gold color with a frothy, white head. Aroma: Citric with notes of lemon, a bit of grass, some light grain (mainly wheat notes), and a bit of yeast. Flavor: A bit light in the flavor department with notes of lemon, grass, grain, and yeast. Mirrors the nose only lighter. Palate: Medium carbonation with a light mouthfeel and a short finish. Overall: Pretty meek stuff in the wheat world. Not recommended.

Bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks man! Pours hazy gold with a large frothy white head. Lemon aroma. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is lemon, grassiness, and no banana and not much spice. Refreshing. Finishes with a touch of yeastiness. Decent hefe, but banana would be nice.
