Commercial Description:
An American style unfiltered wheat beer. Pale straw in color, our Hefeweizen exhibits a light cloudiness from carefully selected wheat and yeast. With its spicy wheat malt aroma and crisp hop finish our Hefeweizen is a light, pleasantly flavorful beer ideal for warmer weather.

Pours an extremely milky honey gold with a 1 finger foamy white head that has decent retention. Aroma is wheaty malt, tangy yeast, and a bit of lemon. Flavor is weak wheat malt, bready yeast, a little lemon and a playful hint of vanilla. Finish is watery and tangy. Body is thin and crisp, I was really expecting alot more yeast by the appearance but this wasn’t too bad. It really lacks the complexity and velvet laced spicy fruit layers of a good wheat but also lacks much of the unpleasant and overdone flavors than many cheaper versions of the style exhibit. Still although refreshing and smooth, it is pretty lame as far as flavor goes, score reflects that.

Bottle from the Dundee mixer pack pours a cloudy yellow-golden color with a nice foamy white head. Aroma is sweet wheat and yeasty. Flavor consists of mostly malty and yeast flavors and is surprisingly good with no overly heavy fruit flavors or spices that seem to be the focus of a lot of macro’s doing the hefe style. The beer as a whole was a good attempt at the style and for the price, this beer is definitely one that I could drink when out and about. Overall, this beer has what we in the business call "drinkability".

~Pours a cloudy gold with lots of carbonation and a big foamy white head. ~Sweet and somewhat spicy wheat, yeast, and malt scent. ~Sweet malty wheat flavor with slightly spicy hops. ~Crisp clean feel, sweet and mildly bitter finish. ~A refreshing wheat beer. I enjoy the slight sweetness and spice in it.

Bottle. Mediium fizzy white head, hazy, fizzy, lively and fast rising carbonation, and one ring of lacing. The aroma was wheat, sweet, bananas, and light citrus. The flavor was sweet, wheat, light citrus and somewhat crisp and refreshing. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. Very easy to drink and somewhat refreshing in its own way on what was a warm Indiana summer day,

Courtesy of sparky27. Some lemon aroma at first smelled like aluminum can on finish. Cloudy gold body with white head. Whole wheat grain flavor with touch of lemon twist. Decent at first but finish is rather bland. Thank You.

This calls itself an American style hefeweizen. It is probably not my favorite style, whatever it is. Golden pour. Nice drawing of the sun on the label. Lightly sweet aroma of malt and yeast. The flavor is better than I expected. It is a crisp, light hefe/wheaty, without any added spices or citrus. It could probably handle a slice of lemon added to it. The wheat malt flavor dominates. This is not as rich and yeasty as German hefeweizens. Maybe that is what Dundee means by American style. This is a nice take on the hefeweizen/wheat style. It is crisp, summery, and underrated.
