Draught. Cloudy yellow colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is yeasty, slightly sweet, papery. Not so good, but OK for the style.

DiarmaidBHK (1527) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 14, 2011
Yet another disappointing American hefe. Pours from tap somewhat cloudy a tad orangish. Not a lot of aroma off of this one or flavor for that matter. It finishes but not fast enough. Meh!

Had this twice while in DC at each of the Captiol City locations. Slightly cloudy Light Golden color with no head of lacing, but really big on citrus notes even for style. Very drinkable.

Elwood (1967) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - JUN 27, 2010
Serving: Draft at the Nova Brewfest.
It pours a yellow gold color with a pillowy white head. The nose is light and spicy with notes of clove and a bit of banana. The taste is a mix of clove, spice, wheat, and a nice touch of lemon. Light in body with medium carbonation and a light, clean finish. A tasty and easily sessionable brew.

Birdiebeagle (959) - Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 14, 2009
Draft at Arlington Brewpub. Pours a hazy yellowish orange with a decent off white head. The head lasts well and laces okay. Has a decent aroma of fruits, cloves, wheat and citrus. Pretty well carbinated. The flavor is decent has all the wheatiness and flavors it is supposed too. It is actually a pretty refreshing beer. Blended well and smooth drinking. Has a light to medium body. The texture is thicker than water but not heavy. Has a decent finish a a good aftertaste.
