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.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with a white head. Eh, a typical wheat beer, with a slightly watery flavor.

Draft at Key Arena (Storm game). Pours cloudy dark straw with a bit of dirty white head. Wheaty nose, and watery body also carrying mild wheat flavor. Feels lifeless. Might be more interesting after a lifetime spent drinking macros, but compared to more inspired beers it’s just too timid.

Draught. Pours hazy golden with vigorous carbonation but moderate head. Fairly weak aroma, mainly of wheat. Similar flavor, although a bit stronger, and with a hint of citrus. Finishes crisply. Not exciting at all, but it’s not bad.

Draft sample at the Bellagio. Hazy gold in colour with lots of carbonation. Neutral aroma (not much there, aside from the slightest whisper of floral hops). Grainy wheat flavor, with a bit of lemon. Medium bodied, with a crisp lager-like finish. Very much on the dull side, but still better than macro-swill.

Bottle served cold, warmed my own glass. Light aroma, very little citrus present, just notes of wheat. This finish is a bit bitter, not what i anticpated, and I feel slightly detrimental.

Pour an initial semi-cloudy dark lemon color. Slight hints of citrus and bitter yeast. Almost a "soap ring" type of leftover head. Quite crisp on the pour. Mouthfeel is slightly watery with just a hint of rear throat bitterness in the aftertaste. Takes a while to pick up the wheat, namely after the glass warms up. Passable hefe.

12oz bottle pours cloudy golden with a short white head that doesn’t stay too long. Aromas of light bubblegum and citrus but generally nothing that pleasing to the nose. Flavor is pretty much yeast and light bubblegum I presume from the wheat. A touch of lemon on the finish. Palate is light and airy. This really shouldn’t be called a hefeweizen and really wasn’t even a good American wheat.

This does not have the taste of a true German hefe and it is one of the few wheat beers that i will "hang fruit" (lemon) in. Despite the unfiltered processing this beer pours very clear with a darker color than many hefes. Good flavor, not as complex and lacks the citrus and spice notes found in a Yazoo or Paulaner.
