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.

12oz. squat bottle. I truly disliked this weak, horrible excuse for a Hefe. It did not example any of the characteristics of a good Hefeweizen, it was watery as all get out, and the finish was bitter on top off all that. STAY AWAY! Try the curve-ball instead.

I was really unimpressed by this beer’s flavor, or lack thereof. It really tastes much like a cheap American lager. Yes, like MGD or Budweiser. Very sweet and corny flavor, with no depth or character. Not that good at all. Smells good, looks good, performs poorly overall. Sorry Pyramid.

Bottled. This is a decent Hefe, but seems to really need a lemon wedge. Without the lemon, it’s a bit flat and yeast like. With the Lemon wedge, it really opens up. I know hard core RB folks are likely anti Lemon wedge, but for this beer, I like. Also, and perhaps my wife likes this beer with the Lemon.

Although the heavily advertised "unfiltered" nature of this hefeweizen is supposed to excuse it’s cloudiness, I can’t help but find it lazy, to say the least. Tastes of bread and banana, but just barely. Not much to love, yet not much to hate, either.

~Pours a very cloudy golden colour with fluffy whte head. ~Smells wheaty with lemon ~Has a glass bottle taste. Wheaty and light lemony. ~Medium feel quick finish. ~This is decent. I like Widmer’s Hefe better.

Pours a bright cloudy yellow body, with a large fluffy white head. Notcieable sediment floating around in the glass. Aroma was sweet and full of grass, wheat and cloves. Texture was wheaty, and smooth yet not overly rich.

Bottled. Slight yeasty aroma. Pour a orange-yellow color with vert little head. Yeasty, bread dough like flavor with slight fruity notes of apricot or citrus. Slight hop kick at the finish. Works for me as either a summer drinking beer, or would pair well with a lot of foods.

Unfiltered yellow-orange with large white head. Aroma of wheat and cloves. Semi watery malty body with taste of banana and clove. A little sweet and a little chalky.
