Pours foggy golden with a finger thick white head. Light aroma of citrus, bready malts and yeast. Same in the flavor. A bit bland, but quite easy drinking and somewhat enjoyable.

American style overproduced wheat beer. Shown with a lemon, which is the only way you will taste any flavor while drinking this.

TAP: Hazy orange pour. Wheat and grain on the nose. Mild citrus, banana, and clove flavor (clove is very mild). Seems like more of a wheat than a hefeweizen.

Lovely hazy yellow color. The aroma is mild but pleasing. Refreshing and grainy. Not a true hefeweizen but a fine wheat beer.

LIght banana notes in the nose. Straw colored and cloudy. Solid white head with good retention. Flavor is light with hints of banana, citrus, and nutty yeast. Nice medium body but with an oily texture. Not highly carbonated but soft and pleasing. Pleasant, lasting acidic finish of citrus and only slightly bitter. Hefeweizens are boring in the best of times, IMO. This one is more so than most. True Hefe lovers will find little to love here. Better than most offerings at your local sports bar but not worth buying if you have a choice.

Tasted at Beer Dabbler event in St. Paul. I like Hefeweizens. This one is no exception. Bright wheat, citrus and bread. Just what I like.

A: Poured with a small, white head that diminished to a thin film. Surprisingly, some pretty good lacing left behind while drinking. Body is a dark yellow and very cloudy. S: There’s a very light aroma of wheat and orange, but it IS pretty light, and barely detectable. T: Very mild flavor here, not much to it at all. I can get the usual wheat and lemon flavors, but they’re quite mild. Nothing to set it apart from other hefes at all. M: Medium-bodied, with a thin/oily texture, and average carbonation. D: Easy to put it back, but pretty boring.

Bottle. Murky golden, tiny pale head. Dryish, yeasty and wheaty nose, little vanilla sweetness and coriander. Flavor is grainy malts, clean yeast, not much fruitiness, little hay and honey, overall pretty dry. Light to medium bodied, slightly slick palate. Mild wit-biery notes.

Bottled (thanks Kalevi!). Hazy pale orange colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, wheat and rather dry, not too pleasant wheat thing. Flavour is wheat, not too pleasant. and a bit harsh for a wheat beer.
