Pours a bright orange with a nice big frothy white head and lots of lace. The aroma is soapy and fruity with some breadiness. The flavor is soapy and only mildly astringent. There is a nice bready quality and a mild spiciness. Perhaps the most on style beer that Beck’s makes.

Had on tap at the "brewpub." You can basically use one description for all of their beers - too light, pretty lame, and just not all that great. This was one of their better ones and closer to style, though.

Hazy, dark gold body appraoching light amber. The aroma was classic clove and banana, but very light. The taste was banana peels with some light peanuts. Again, not a bad beer, just too light, even for a supposed hefe that is closer to an American wheat.

Slight Chill haze, but certainly not cloudy. "This came from the bottom of the keg" said the bartender. Tastes exactly like the Frog’s Leap. No diacyl mistake in this one, though. Not true to style by any means. No esters at all. Bad for a Hefe.
