Mar 31, 2008 First time I’ve tried an "imperial" hefe. Beer pours cloudy golden with a creamy head. Aroma of malt and grain. Some light hops, spice, and fruit as well.
Taste is similar with a tart bitter finish. Body is carbonated.

Mar 16, 2008 After I let the yeast settle to the bottom of my pint glass I dove into this hefe and enjoyed it. Not a big fruity beeer drinker so this was testing my will. The strong hops character carried this beer. Great color. Highly complex mouthfeel. Decently drinkable. Above average beer.

Mar 7, 2008 Hazy tangerine-orange with a thick, airy, fluff head. Aroma of light wheat and some yeast with a pungence of alcohol. Wheat and alcohol are definitely more assertive than the typical wheat beer. Stronger does not necessarily better.

Mar 6, 2008 Smooth wheaty aroma and taste, this drinks dangerosly quickly over almost any meal with transparent colour and some residual foam. Incredibly drinkable.

Mar 5, 2008 2007 Bottle. Beer is cloudy, medium rich gold. Head is initially small, cream-colored, frothy. Diminishes rapidly and mostly. Growing petri-dish culture surface left behind.<P>The aroma is malty with light notes of toasted grain, caramel cookie; Hoppy with a light-to-moderat note of herb, moderate note of chewy dried apricot; Yeasty traces of banana and clove, dough; Trace of candied orange peels. <P>
The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, light-to-moderately bitter/dry. The finish is moderately long, light-growing-to-moderately bitter, trace acidic. Some warmth and hop-grip in the finish.<P>The body is medium, the texture is watery-to-velvety and the carbonation is lively-to-fizzy.<P>Sweet for the style, leaves me craving it’s lean cousins.

Mar 3, 2008 Bottle. Deep proper hefe colour, thin head (unproper). Slightly sour nose, decent body. Overall underwhelming - not really an elevation of the American hefes, not at all a German hefe.

Mar 2, 2008 1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle, 2007 vintage. Pours a cloudy honey color with a small head. At 7.5% ABV, this is the strongest Hefeweizen I have ever tried. Flavor: lemon and wheat, with just a hint of hops.

Feb 27, 2008 Looks like a darker typical hefe and the aroma also is thicker but with a touch of alcohol to the wheaty citrus aroma. Heavier texture and flavour than a typical wheat but without the flavour balance due to the alcohol.
