Monte Carlo HefeWeizen

Tap at brewpub. Monica, where did you go? Pours a semi-viscous yellow with an aroma of chewed bubblegum. Flavor follows suit, albeit with a much weaker tone.

cloudy yellow, whispy head, light citrus aroma, tart wheat flavor, touch of banana, just a hint of bitterness in the finish

a bit more malt backbone, no bitterness, yeast character starts to show up about halfway through, a bit of tartness that may have been caused by an uninvited lemon found floating under the head, a bit bland compared to ’01, but that may be me

This was one I figured to be a winner, wonderful appearance, unfiltered, appearance of banana puree in a glass with a healthy head. Aromas sadly were rather muted, almost like a hefe-light. Could it be to appeal to the masses? I am starting to wonder. Strike two...

Eh. It was okay. For those who love hefeweisens, probably a letdown. Light banana flavor. Cloudy. Not terrible.

bla, bla, bla,bla bla....this normal american hefe, nothing very good about, average, watered down, and for crying out loud a lemon!! this is to mask tast or lack of. go find yourself a real german beer in las vegas go to the hofbrauhaus and have a weisse, youll die.

Pretty average hefeweizen, nice fruity tones & mine came with a lemon :)

Typical cloudy-pale hefe. Standard banana-clove flavor, maybe a bit of milkiness that added a degree of smoothness to the beer. Not bad at all, the second best beer they had next to the red ale. And not served with a fucking lemon, either.

Great beer to go along with those blistering hot Las Vegas days. Worth the trip.
