Pours yellow and hazy with a white head. Smells citrussy and sweet. Tastes citrussy with some spicy hints on the finish.

Draft at PH, Las Vegas . Poured cloudy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate banana, clove and citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium sweet flavor with a solid sweet wheat finish of moderate duration. Good refreshing brew.

Draught @ Flamingo hotel Sin City brewery. Average creamy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cloudy almost yellow golden color. Aroma of yeast, citrus, banana and mixed fruity notes as well. I have had better Hefeweizen but it is not that bad. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a hint of acidic. Light fruity banana and citrus finish.

On tap: Hazy yellow-orange. Lively carbonation; light and refreshing texture. Nice amounts of sweet banana and very faint clove. Pinch of soft pepper, too. Mild bitterness was on the light side, but it provided a nice balance. Malts were grainy-sweet and wheaty. I actually enjoyed this beer. Perhaps a wee bit too sweet for my buds, but it kind of surprised me.

This little cubby-hole micro-brew and retailer is in the shopping arcade portion of the Aladdin hotel and casino (soon to be the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino). They offer 4 brews, and this one is by far the best. A very true-to-style hefe, it is hazy light orange-amber with a robust head. Typical aroma of banana, vanilla, bready yeast and clove that spill over onto the wheaty palate. Very refreshing, well balanced, and delicious.

Nut too much head or aroma, but a nice beer past the banana stage. Doesn’t come off that wheaty and is really pretty good.

22 april 07. on tap at the mall. Hazy orange color. nice foamy head. swet citrus aroma. lemons, honey, & wheat. yeasty flavor. hint of tartness. very light bodied and very refreshing. dry finish. very good hefe! The best one of the 4 Sin City Beers by far. I am not a Hefeweizen guy, but this was good!
