Aug 6, 2009
Situation: a long day of chasing and cleaning cat pee...but cheered by Carrill in Dan in Real Life...
Glassware: 23 oz. pilsener...
Appearance: head makes a white, rather nicely laced glass; steady effervescence in an orange copper body--but why uncloudy for a hefe?
Aroma: light lemon approach; a bit of clove hints out as well; some stro(a)nger elements--and malt?
Palate: light bodied (too light?) with a throaty flourish; rather mellow and unassuming...
Taste: a rather smooth wheat taste settles on the tongue; not as much fanfare as some other Sam Adams--light lemon sprig and not much else...
Overall: enough here to place in the second tier of wheat beers--a good choice at a barbecue if thoughtful folks are stocking the cooler, but definitely not a six-packer...

Dec 16, 2009 Not a huge fan of this one had an overall bitterness from the hops and the aftertaste was not what was expected from sam adams. Maybe I got a bad batch but this was not a very good beer

Dec 10, 2009 Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. The color is golden and hazy. Smells like wheat and has a little head that disappear quickly. I would call this an american wheat rather than a true hefeweizen. Below average for the style. Will not buy again.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours to a small white head with limited carbonation. A rather cloudy appearence that is somewhat bland on the taste buds. It has the flavor of drinking hay which isn’t to surprising considering it’s a wheat beer. No bitter aftertaste a plus. No Sam Adams best, but does okay for a Hefeweizen.

Nov 25, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy dark yellow with a medium sized white head that dissipated quickly. Aroma was full of banana and yeast notes. Flavor was light with sweet bananas and yeast.

Nov 22, 2009 Poured the stereotypically cloudy blonde color with a 2-finger white head. Mild aroma of banana esters with an undertone that was kind of peppery. Palate was light, as one would expect from the style. Light lemony taste with a slight pepperyness underneath. Somewhat yeasty up front though. Decent.

Nov 19, 2009 12. oz bottle from the Summer Sampler pack lured out of my girlfriend’s mothers basement. Pours a hazy golden pour, decent offwhite head that dies to a very small head, clings. minor lacing. Aromas are lemon, flaked wheat, a touch of skunk, with citrusy feel. Dough/bread. Mediocre, finishes clean, a bit of a citrus and bready stick. A so-so wheat beer that I can do without.

Nov 10, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Slightly cloudy gold color with a foamy, white head.
Aroma: Light nose with wheat and citric notes. Not much else.
Flavor: Wheat, light malt notes, some citrus notes. Simple and not offensive, but nothing to make you come back either.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium-short finish.
Overall: A forgetable wheat. Take it or leave it.
