mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA May 6, 2008 bottle. small off-white fizzy head (quickly dissapating) into cloudy orange body. aromas of moderate caramel and light spices. Okay hefe. Lothore (276), California, USA Apr 26, 2008 A- Tangerine colored brew which is characteristically unfiltered in appearance. Nice frothy 2 finger head. This is definitely what I except to see from a hefeweizen.
S- Smell seems a bit overly sweet, apricot, banana and a mettalic tinge are present.
T- Very light doughy banana taste. Sort of a strange fruity aftertaste that I can’t put my finger on. Definitely one of the lighter hefeweizens I have tasted.
M- Mouthfeel is somewhat carbonated and very light. A little too watery for my tastes.
D- This is a pretty drinkable brew, not my favorite hefeweizen by far but a good session beer. HoppyGuy (111), USA Apr 25, 2008 Pours a hazy medium amber (swirl the bottle near the end of the pour to stir up the yeast on the bottom). It poured with a medium light beige head. The aroma is of citrus and a spice I can’t put my finger on (allspice? Nah.). I was surprised by the weak character, and I think it would be better with a lemon slice to jazz it up some. An OK summer brew. Put some lemon in it and pair with barbeque (use a "sweeter" sauce, not one that’s tangy), beans and cole slaw. Watermelon for dessert. Yum. UnholyBrewing (448), Melbourne(Mulgrave), Australia Apr 24, 2008 ...draft at the pyramid brewery. Surprisingly good, but lacking. Close attempt at the great style of hefeweizen, but still not perfect like the real deal. Nice wheat on the nose, and malt in the mouth, citrus notes are there, making this a very drinkable, good beer. Too bad I can’t get it in Florida. ilovedarkbeer (1326), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 22, 2008 Thank god this insn’t listed as a Hefeweizen because I was about to rip it a new one. Pours a cloudy golden color with a medium to large sized soapy/fluffy white head. Looks decent. Nose is sour and grassy. Some banana esters, but nothing on the level of a hefe. Taste is acidic, carbonated, grassy, wheat like, and just generally unbalanced and harsh on the palate. Boooooooo. Bhops (329), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 19, 2008 draft at DFW airport bar. decent head, decent aroma of banana and grass, but I found the taste lacking compared to other hefes. phobos1031 (71), Paradise, Nevada, USA Apr 18, 2008 12oz bottle. been doing this for a while.
good aroma of lemon and wheat. crisp tasty thirst quenching brewha for the hot nasty summer months in Vegas. add lemon and pound. cflores (6), USA does not count Apr 16, 2008 I must admit, perhaps not a hef kinda guy, but none the less i like this one. Perhaps to my own detriment, for this hef is not the norm in the northwest. hazy body with lingering mello tones that meander around the idea of depicting dirty earthy notes. A hef that does not need the lemon, for it rings rich with citris and body.
