Commercial Description:
The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends.

Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was very wheaty and bland, more like american wheat than the spicy notes of german hefes. Flavor was much the same, very bland, not watery, just plain.

Poured cloudy murky dull orange flavor with smells of bread and citrus spice, not even a hint of banana. This was my first "hefe" and even if it’s not a stellar example of the style, it’s still delicious. My first tentative sip turned into a healthy slow gulp which turned into barely being able to set my glass down between sips. I gave up, held onto it and finished it pretty quickly. And then I realized my mistake--I didn’t have any more. That won’t happen again, I’ll keep this stocked up as a standby. Oh, I also tried this with a handful of blackberries thrown in--equally tasty a bit more bitter and just like a little beer lava lamp. It was the refreshment and the entertainment!

I like this beer, but in my book it is not a hefe. Sure its cloudy, but there is no banana clove flavor that is required of a German hefe. Why not just call it an unfiltered American Wheat? Still a decent tasting beer.

classic american hefe, lacking in the fruit spices of a german hefe, but with more of a citrusy aspect. light orange color and little nose

This is your average hefe. Light yellow body and a white head. Flavor is refreshing and clean. Smooth and pretty malty. Good on a hot day for sure...but there are better.

Had this at Pour24 at NYNY in Vegas on tap. A pretty typical Hefe Weizen. Nothing out of the ordinary. Creamy white head with a pale body. I would recommend a lemon with this one.

Poured a hazy yellow with a slightly foamy head. Aromas of wheat and yeast, not too much citrus like other hefeweizens. Taste was pretty good, but could use more citrus flavor. Very smooth overall.

Draft at Colonial Downs Beer Festival. Aroma was kind of missing. Citric flavor but well balanced. Medium body. Doesn’t need a lemon. Stands on it’s own.
