Pours from 12 oz bottle somewhat hazy yellow, forming little to no foamy head. Bottle says "Fire Hydrant Hefeweisen", Utica NY. Aroma of Spices and such. Flavour was of hops, wheat and bananas. Minimal carbonation, with a floral ending. Overall an OK hefe (even though its technically wheat ale), but not what I consider top notch.

Bottle says brewed in Ukiah, CA. From a 12 oz bottle, poured a hazy yellow with a fizzy white head and almost no lacing. Nose of grains and citrus hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is mild and of wheat and light hops. Not much finish.

Golden cloudy pour with a fizzy white head. Yeast and grain dominate the rather weak aroma, with a touch of hops and citrus. Flavor is really similar to the aroma. Medium body, and not much finish. Not bad for a 6 buck 6 pack.

Bottle. Pours aslightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and yeast. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Not bad.

The aroma is metallic with wheat, yeast, lemon, and hops. (Oddly it kind of smells like a gym.) The appearance is hazy amber with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma and not what I expect from a hefe. The palate is thin. I can drink this but I am not going for more.
