dtblaser (42), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 27, 2006 Very different from other Hefes. Spicy, strong hopped, and bitter. Not bad, but not good either. Good aroma, pours cloudy, and ends very strong for long lasting flavor. However, the long lasting flavor was not that great to me.
sar50 (9), , Rhode Island, USA does not count Jan 7, 2009 poured out of a bottle into a standard pint. hazy yellow with a good head that sticks well to the glass and leaves a sticky lace. Smell is of wheat malts and a lot of lemon.
Taste has typical american wheat profile, with fruity yeast (but very mild to no banana-clove) and clean wheat profile. Lemon spice/peel dominateb the flavor for me and are a bit to much.
Drinkable for sure but dominated with to much lemon for me with not enough to balance it out.
coyotehunter (99), , Michigan, USA Jan 6, 2009 Updated: Jan 7, 2009Bottle courtesy MrBunn.Yep..not so tasty.Pours light sparkling yellow with a fizzy head. Aromas of Lemons grass light malt and a shade of pepper. Very sweet palate. Rather poor. A lot like a Coors light. Eh. willblake (2050), Long Branch, New Jersey, USA Dec 29, 2008 20081229 12oz bottle from Spirits on Sunset, Feast of Fools holiday 12-pk. Usual cloudy golden color of a hefe with nice medium sized white head of white foam that sheets lace. Excellent appearance. Aroma, besides typical hefe notes, is a bit musty with hints of sweaty mattress. ugh. Flavor has what I’m learning is a house character for Magic Hat, somewhat chemical and perfumey, with also a light citrus note--but not the typical biting citrus, more like a lemon curd or custard flavor. Caramel. Finishes with mild yeast sourness. Meh. boFNjackson (645), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 27, 2008 Bottle... Poured a vibrant yellow-orange with a frothy, white head. Lemon citrus and spicey aroma. Flavors were light and yeasty with crisp citrus and grass flavors -- go figure -- a bit unbalanced. And drink it really cold; as it warmed up it was sour. mattwatkins (4), , USA does not count Dec 26, 2008 very mild aroma. medium on all counts. does not drink like a hefeweizen. no outstanding wheat flavor, but still enjoyable.
