Commercial Description:
Blue Heron is a Kristall Weizen beer— this is a filtered European style wheat ale characterized by very pronounced fruity and spicy flavors and aromas. Our recipe uses a traditional mix of wheat and barley processed in the German fashion. However, the distinctive flavors and aromas are a result of the yeast.

On tap at Skeeter’s, Gulfport, MS. This is a fine example of a Kristal Weizen. Poured an attractive gold with creamy white head that it didnt retain. Lacing was minimal. Good mouthfeel. Tasted a bit like a witbier to me. Carbonation was perfect and it disguised its alcohol content well (5.7 abv). Flavor has notes of honey and citrus. Good beer.

Draft. Pale gold in color with a white fluffy head that doesn’t last. Mouth feel is good; kind of dry. I really liked this beer. Flavor wise, this compares favorably with the good European weiss beers. The Lazy Magnolia people have definitely impressed me with this one.

For a while, this was the best beer we could get in Oxford, MS...which doesn’t say too much, but I really feel like it’s not a great wheat beer. Too sour, not bright at all. Kills Blue Moon, and is as good as Hoegaarden, but take that however you want.

On Tap. Pours a nice light amber with a decent medium head. Taste was smooth with a hint of citrus. A nice beer that I will most definately recommend and also drink again.

This was in no way a hefe. This was filtered and advertised as such. However, I thought it was very well done with a nice tongue feel and some nice underlying bananas, etc.

Color was on the deeper side for a German Hefe (a slight bit more amber tone to it than others of its class). Bummer that this was filtered. These Lazy Mags haven’t hit on appearance (but were quite enjoyable otherwise). No head and lacing was miserable (way out of character for Hefe). I thought to myself, boy, this isn’t going to be good if it really is a wheat beer. However, the flavor was outstanding, coriander, some orange peels, other light citrus, even some cloves, all over top of the wheat (any candi sugar? this almost tasted like a Wit). Near mid-glass the alcohol also became detectable, leading me to think this was higher than average. Solid mouthfeel and somewhat sweet overall flavor.

This refreshing wheat has interesting fruit flavors. A little on the sweet side and very smooth. I recommend it to anyone visiting Mississippi.

Nice golden appearance with decent body and sort of a fizzy head that disappears quickly. Wheat beers aren’t my favorites, but this is good. It’s got bite, but still smooth. Nice hops flavor with hints of something sweet in the background. As far as wheat beers go, this is good.
