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.

Wheaty Hefeweizen-like nose, cereal grains and chunky banana yeast phenols with a touch of crisp fermented tang rounding out the nose. Cloudy orangish color with white, solid head. Bland and thin wheat flavors with hints of cereal and messy dishwater aftertaste. I’ve started to appreciate this style more and more as I grow older, but this one doesn’t really bring anything exciting to the table, and instead kind of blahs it about, dishwater. This is the kind of beer that needs a lemon to make it refreshing, and once a lemon is squeezed in your glass or bottle, it does suffice as a refreshing beverage.

Nice refreshing American wheat beer. Some banana in the nose and taste. Want to try on a very hot day.

Okay, this beer poured out a light yellow color with a nice white head. Formed some nice lace when it subsided. Had a cloudy appearance to it and some carbonation. An aroma of some citrus and hops. The mouthfeel and finish definately had the hops and some of the citrus. Gave it a overall tangy effect. Alright for a summer beer, but there are better ones out there.

Nice deep golden color. An aggressive pour leaves little head. Inoffensive but nothing is there. More honey-like malt than wheat, no interesting esters. A hint of cloves. Safe, but bland.

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.

...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.

12 oz. Bottle…Pours cloudy amber with a frothy white head…that last a moderate period of time. Lemon and citrus aromas penetrate deep within the nostrils. The swallow is lively (with carbonation)...the flavor is a little dull for my hefe taste buds.

12 oz. bottle- Aroma is of hay and wheat, good hefe, not great. Head disapears almost immediately, kind of bland.
