Nov 5, 2007 Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a very thin white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat and citrus - not half bad at all. Medium-bodied; Effervescent feeling up front with some yeast and wheat most noticeable. Curacao and some light fresh flavours up front, fading to a mild malt. Aftertaste shows some sweetness, but mostly mild, run of the mill flavours. Overall, a decent wheat, nothing too special, but worth trying. I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased at Trader Joe’s in Tyson’s Corner (Falls Church), Virginia on 04-November-2007.

Nov 30, 2006 Rating this one as the Bavarian Hefe that is on the label.
Pours golden yellow with medium white head. Cinnamon, yeast, musty wheat aroma. A little honey wheat taste, finishes dry and uninspiring.

Jan 11, 2006 Slight honey in the nose, lemony taste, crisp light finish. Not much going on here.

Jan 4, 2005 Deep gold, mostly clear. Nose vaguely wheaty and honey-sweet, no real hefe character. Flavor is sweet and malty, mild yeastiness. Finish has some harshness, not that pleasant. Eh.

Sep 13, 2004 Updated: Jul 9, 2005Like Mikeben’s rating, my bottle also just says Wheat Beer on it but it’s not a hefeweizen - more like a hybrid brew that’s part american wheat beer. Pours a clear golden, like a pilsner, not cloudy like I was expecting. Doesn’t have any of the hefe characteristics like banana or clove.Aroma is lightly malty - not much there. Taste is nice and malty with a good dose of hops, citrus and grain. Good sweetness, not much bitterness at all. Mouthfeel is full, round and very nice on the palate. Overall, nice taste and texture.
