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.

thanks to JK for sharing. Clear orange color with faint wheat and banana nose. Similar flavor but a watery body.

on tap in a cold pint glass at The Counter, very tasty Pacific style wheat beer with nice head and cloudy golden yellow color, good body and very nice lemony hop finish

I appear to be agreeing with consensus here- this is a bland, boring wheat beer. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with a thick, puffy off-white head. Tangy, bitter, zesty aroma. Flavor is rather weak and rather cardboardy with tangy and earthy notes. No banana or clove flavors suggestive of a "hefeweizen" the label claims the beer to be. Instead, this has a rather creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Falls far, far short of other American Wheats like Bell’s Oberon. Wet and lifeless.

(draft @ Centrifuge in MGM Grand Hotel and Casino - Las Vegas, NV) Cloudy orange pour with a puffy white head. Smell is very light with just wheat. Not much spice or orange in it. Flavor tastes almost exactly like a lager. Very watery and not much flavor. Definitely a wheat ale rather than a hefe.

Update: I'm getting banana in the nose for the first time with this beer. Its mild, and the flavor is very clean and very much in the American wheat vein, with a light citrus zest at the end.

bottle - Pours cloudy gold with a very thin rapidly fading head. That makes me wonder given the ratings here describing big, fluffy pours. Mine definitely wasn’t. Nevertheless, I was in the mood for a wheat beer and as advertised this beer is smooth and refreshing.

Some wheat malt, doughy yeast and faint citrus in the aroma. Opaque golden-orange color, with a lasting, lightly creamy head. Soft wheaty flavor, surprisingly sweet, finishing with a dash of citrus and yeast zing. Some spicy hop flavor lingers while bitterness remains muted throughout. Light-medium body, mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery. Perhaps only slightly below average for the style -- could do with a lessened amount of sweetness, I think.

On tap at the SoDo brewery. Pours cloudy gold with a lacy white head. Unfortunately, the barman saw fit to park a lemon slice on the rim, which pretty much destroyed my ability to rate it as a beer. Why do they do this? Are they so ashamed of the product that they don’t want anyone to find out what the unadulterated taste is? It’s an OK wheat flavored lemonade.
