esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA May 18, 2008 Hazy yellow with thin white head. Aroma of sweet malts, wheat, light yeast. Very light taste with some light sweet malts, caramel and diacetyl and very light hop finish. There’s next to nothing going on with this beer. Eh, I guess it goes down easy. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA May 18, 2008 Astringent. Medicinal. Spicy finish. No qualities of a good hefe. Bad attempt at a nice summer style beer. rustychiles (997), Mesa, Arizona, USA May 12, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and malt. Flavor is .......wait what flavor. Who put the water in my hefe, is this a cruel joke. Honesty there is a little wheat, a little bitterness and it doesn’t taste bad it just aint that good. legion242 (1572), Richardson, Texas, USA May 9, 2008 Quite possibly the worst hefe I have ever had. Nearly flavorless and a palate that was like sandpaper. None of the redeeming flavor profiles one would want in a hefe. UnholyBrewing (448), Melbourne(Mulgrave), Australia May 8, 2008 ...nothing like a real hefe. I don’t know why these guys even tried this style if they can’t get anything else right. Too watered down, no wheat malt flavor, no sediment, no creaminess. Better than many other US beers, but still not good. Poor attempt. mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 28, 2008 Bottle poured into shaker- poured transparent light copper golden color, white ring around the glass for a head, light carbonation, aroma of light wheat and grass. Hits the mouth with a thin body, a good taste of wheat hits the mouth to the midsections of the swallow, finish has a sweet and sour note (honey and lemon). Interesting take on the style. kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Apr 27, 2008 Pours clearer, straw color with 2 inch white head that goes to 1 inch in 2 minutes. Beer is very slightly but cloudy but mostly see-thorough, and has very little bubbles. Good medium-light, crisp, malty, wheat nose. Flavor is mostly malty wheat. Mouthfeel is drinkable, smooth, and largely uncarbonated. Flavor leaves a little to be desired, but the beer has enough to be enjoyable. It’s a little sweet too and has some honey undertones. It’s a good example of an American Hefeweizen, unlike Widmer’s attempt, as opposed to a German one and should not be compared as such. jimhilt (1664), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Apr 14, 2008 Pours a five finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Nearly clear amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Virtually no nose. Flavor is light lemon and wheat. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.
