COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a light wheat ale brewed with 50% malted wheat and a blend of pale, carastan, and Munich malts, lightly hopped with Perle and Mt. Hood hops. It has a pronounced wheat character, best described as a "soft" maltiness, and is usually rather fruity due to the high fermentation temperature. Hefeweizen is an excellent beer to recommend to people who are new to microbrews. It is a subtle way to introduce real beer flavor.

A very nice Hefeweizen, but then I like wheat beer. Very nice hops and citric flavors. Color golden wheat, good head retention, nice clean finish. Goes very well with the excellent food at Bend brewery.

On tap at the brewery. Pale gold with white head. The malt lends a chewy palate, but i did not get much banana and clove as i would expect for the style.

SamGamgee (2452) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - AUG 10, 2010
Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy gold with a white head. Lots of crackery wheat in the aroma with a light lemon touch. Lots of wheat flavor with a crackery finish and some light citrus. Creamy body with some lasting sweetness. Does the wheat thing well, but predictably boring.

Eh, really weak grainy malt - kind of sour wheat with a lot of lemon. Somewhat dry and moderate yeast.

carboloader (577) - Houston, Texas, USA - JUL 13, 2008
Sampled at the Bend pub. Pours hazy gold with little head. Annoying lemon slice included. Pretty plain hefe. Tasted weak and bland to me.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUN 18, 2008
On tap at the source in Bend, OR--Murky, cloudy, burnt golden-orange-maize hue with a tiny white-laced head. Served with a lemon so it was difficult to determine how much lemon smell was because of this addition or from beer itself. Lemony, citrus, wheaten esters. Crisp, chalky, and refreshing. Dry-sweet finish. Quite good.
