| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 26, 2006 (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. SSSteve (2107), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Aug 23, 2008 now labeled as "dundee wheat ale" with a new look to confuse me into buying this crap all over again. no more j.w. hazy light orange under a foamy white head. aroma is almost nonexistent. smells like a pale lager. flavors of...well there isn’t much really. watery texture, light bodied. is this water?

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 13, 2006 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! cheapdark (2050), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Jun 20, 200712 oz brown bottle. Pop the lid to reveal an aroma of mild to medium alcohol. The taste is the same, I would say it has more alky content than is listed here. The aroma and flavor is more than average alky. I don’t find much fruityness in the brew. Pours a slight hazy yellow into my steeler stein, but is mostly clear. I know it says unfiltered but I think they did filter out most of the precipitants. Wheat beers are my fave but this is not triggering any real likable qualities about it. There does seem to be some hops in there with the wheat brew. Although this has a real classy label, it is not a real good example of wheat beer. Something like sam addams hefeweizen, but does not taste as good. Much more personality than your typical belgian whitbeir. Not very gentle-man like in its flavor. Finish is coarse and again I think it has more alky % than is what listed. I’ve tasted pale lagers that are more wheatlike than this. FROTHINGSLOSH (2046), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 23, 2006 Sampled on draft at the State College beer festival this beer poured a medium golden color with a small white head. The aroma is light with elements of bubblegum and citrus. The flavor is light dry wheat with not a whole lot else going for it. Fairly bland. bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 20, 2006 Bottle. Pours a pale hazy amber with a lingering white head. A bit of citrus in the nose. Light body, watery with fizzy carbonation. Taste is slightly sour with some wheat and honey notes, and has a metalic quality. Crisp, dry, slightly spicy finish. Drinkability and appearance increase if you rouse the yeast. Snojerk321 (2034), San Diego, California, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 27, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed medium yellow with a 2 finger off white. head. Nose was of sour citrus and a touch of wheat. I’ve come to this conclusion that unless you want to try these beers for ratebeer stats then go for it, other than that, pick up something else from your local brew store. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2007 Got a pair of these in the JW Craft Pack. Didn’t expect to care for this at all, but was pleasantly surprised. Light orange, slightly hazy look, with a big white head in a weizen glass. Smell is definitely lemony, and light wheaty malt. Big Carbonation, with a light taste at first with lemon and acidity, followed by a finish of wheat and sweetness. Very decent American wheat.
