Shiner Hefeweizen

Brewed by Spoetzl Brewery (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Wheat Ale
Shiner, Texas USA

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a good sized foamy white head. Aroma is malty with a very slight hint of spice in the background. Flavor is very weak, no hefe flavor to be found. Not a horrible beer, but definitely not a good hefe.

Very beautiful golden red color -- not typical of hefeweizens by other brewers. One of my favorite hefeweizens though! Best to try it cold, from the tap at the brewery tasting room. Still good from the bottle, though.

golden pour not hazy enough ! (needs more yeast afloat). taste had a strange off tang . not great will try again!

Not sure what they were going after here.Poured golden with a malty nose.No hints of a Hefe here.Sorry guys try again

12oz twist-off bottle. Golden yellow color, white head of large fizzy bubbles. Big bubbles cascading to the surface like it has been artificially carbonated by injecting it into the bottle. BORING, Fruity aroma, light banana and some clove, sweet malt. Tastes like a pale pilsner. Sweet, malty, finishes crisp. OK for a newbie, not the best Hefe I’ve had. Overall, it is just a hazy American Wheat Ale.

Wow. I have to agre with rater below me. This did not resemble a Hefewizen in any way. Poured from bottle. Clear golden orange color. Aroma was non existant. Flavor was more along the lines of a light pilsner. There was nothing resembling the hefe here. Maybe a slight crisp grass flavor. Very watery. Very bland. Drain pour for me.

What the crap? It don’t even taste like a Wheat or a Hefeweizen. I cant even figure out what its supposed to be. It reminds me of a homebrew I made out of a bunch of out dated and left over ingredients. It was crap to

I find with most shiner products they either taste very similar to a macro in their same category, or they actually deliver a beer with a variety of taste and flavour. While I do not think the taste of their Hefeweizen is too great, it is strong and a bit on the sour side, leaves a spice taste in my mouth long after consumption and it is hard to match this up with any food. I like Hefeweizen to start off with the spice/citrus flavour, but end smooth and subtle, this beer is the opposite, it starts off crisp, and ends strong. As for the person who wrote that it dilutes, well I let mine sit for 5 minutes to see if it would happen, it did not.
