1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Somewhat cloudy gold, whitish head. Nose is mostly toasted bready malt - maybe a little wheat - nothing much. Flavor is lightly toasted bready malt. no wheat, no citrus, no clove, no yeast. WTF? Its a semi-ok ale but no wheat beer.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: OCT 20, 2006 Far from a hefeweizen or good american wheat for that matter-aroma is really not good at all-cardboard and some acidic wheat. Flavor is a little better, but not by much-watery, metallic wheat flavor with slightly bitter, flavorless palate. Really just not too good compared to the other beers in their assortment pk, which still stands as a good deal @ about $8.50 but is brought down a peg with this selection. -=-=-=-=-=-=-I have to say, on a second run, I kinda like the hoppiness mixed with a little wheat--not quite a quality american wheat but something interesting and not too bad. ’craft pack’ still stands at an exceptional deal
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(bottle - 12 oz) Hazy straw colored pour with a thick and fizzy white head. Very light aroma of wheat, yeast, and something bitter. Not much in the way of citrus or cloves. Flavor is pretty thin and slightly sour with a hint of wheat at the end. Watery and kind of bitter. Could use more flavor.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
From a twelve ounce bottle - This poured straw-hued beer with a lasting, thick white head of foam and a faint (Too damn faint! Where’s the banana smell?) aroma. Tastewise, it’s an alright beer, but not at all as flavorful and rich as a good hefe!
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Light yellow in color with a white head. Very sweet grainy aroma. Taste was a sweet wheatie malt. Nothen like any Hefeweizen I have ever had, lack luster!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
It is pale straw in color with a short lived 3 finger head. Aroma of light wheat and faint hints of bubblegum. The Bubblegum faded away as the beer sat for a couple minutes. I’m really not finding much in this beer that the brewer claims in the description. The body is thin and watery. I will admit that it is easy to drink, just very lackluster and unimpressive. Perhaps a starting point for the macro fans. As far as I know this is only available at this time in the new Craft Pack 12’er. Not even on the website.
