Commercial Description:
Nothing beats relaxing on a hot Summer afternoon with a tall, fresh hefe-weizen. "El Hefe" is the one we've come to love and adore around here when a little thirst-quenching is in order. A wedge of lemon squeezed over a glass contrasts nicely with the clove and banana scents! The Bavarian yeast strain that we use really gives El Hefe a classic Bavarian appeal.

Pours a clear, very light amber. Initially abundant, quickly fading beige head. Aroma mostly carbonic, with some pale malt and a twist of citrus. Flavor similar, banana tinged wheat beer. Has a note of clove spiciness that comes off as somewhat chemical. Medium body, somewhat flat on the palate.

I like cloudy, banana, bubble gummy Hefe, and this is not one. Seemed closer to an American Wheat Ale

Slightly orange golden pour, plenty of carbonation. Nose is lightly yeast, grainy malts. Reminds me a lot of franziskaner, but not nice on the palate.

Light bronze colored body with a lightly off white head. Strong smells of cloves and light banana peels. There is also some fresh green wood. Taste of nasty old canned peaches and some hints of clove. There was also a strange woody note in the finish. Not sure what they were going for in this one.

Yeasty nose of clove and banana. Very fragrant. Color is a gold with a creamy off-white head. Palate is clean and crisp with hints of citrus and a balanced hop finish. The carbonation is almost furry on the palate, soft and non-aggressive. Finish is fruity in style with hints of banana.

A below average Hefe from Pearl Street, altough I’m not overly suprised. Lately it seems the Hefs have been a little dull and resembling an american wheat. Poured a light golden colour with just a little haze. Head was small, aroma had a little bit of some bananna notes on the nose maybe an orange peel or two. Taste was rather thin with a little bit of wateriness in the finish.

Thanks to Honkeybra... I guess. He hated it. I thought it was sub-aight. Nast and wheat on the nose. Flaver is cloying big time and very stale. Didn’t hate it as much as Honkeybra, but still wouldn’t voluntarily drink it again.

Oh my god. My dad picked this one up for me in La Crosse. How can i describe how terrible this is. Kind of smells stale, with a bit of hazel nuts. Favor is also gross. Kind of like condiments: ketchup, mustard, and relish, with some off flavors. Maybe some of those gross jalapenos the put on fake nachos? I would not try this again. Too bad I have a six pack.
