Cloudy golden with a medium white head. Yeasty aroma with wheat, lemons and lime. Flavour had wheat, coriander, lime and lemons.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is mild clove, wheat, musty. Taste is musty wheat, mild clove/spice. OK effervescence. More of an American wheat. Nice, clean, easy beer.

12 oz bottle. Light aromas of wheat and citrus. Also a fruitiness. Hazy dark gold color with a head that just thinned away. Thin+ body with creamy carbonation. Not a lot of flavor; a flat wheatishness with a lttle bit of citrus sour. Refreshing in its way. Finish is a little herby.

draft at the beach house, yellow color with slight foam, aroma is plain, some wheat flavors but mostly very bland, good body but lacks much flavor

Sampled from 12-oz bottle from distributors sampler. Pours a burnt hazy golden brew with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a thin ring. Aroma of some tropical fruit, multi-grain golden malt with wheat and a touch of yeast. Taste is semi-sweet, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some fruit and yeast. Finish has a sweet apple aftertaste that quickly disappears. Missing the banana and clove character so I am not too sure what to make of this one.

On tap at Heroes in Fullerton, CA. Not much aroma really, maybe a little citrus. Beer pours a pale hazy yellow. There is also not much flavor to speak of. All I got from it was faint wheatiness, a small amount of citrus notes, and a lot of carbonated water. It was very carbonated and there was not alot of body going on in this brew. Very uninspiring.

On tap at Firehouse. Cloudy yellow with no head. Aroma of citrus and banana. Banana bread taste with a clove spiciness to the clean crisp finish. An average Hefeweizen, but certainly better than the other ratings reflect.

12-ounce bottle; bought a six pack for my dad, who is a fireman (a portion of proceeds go to fire-related charities). Cloudy golden pour with minimal head. Very thin body and minimal aroma compared to other hefeweizens. Not awful, but offers nothing special. Instantly forgettable.

Draft @ Nieghborhood Bar in Downtown San Diego. After a long day at Comicon this was pretty refreshing, decently nice aroma and smooth. Easy drinking pretty nice hefeweizen.

12 oz bottle from GM Liquors; Nose of some wheat, but no fruity esters; hazy yellow with a big pale yellow head; flavor slightly sweet with a flour-pasty note; not much of a hefe, their pale ale is a lot better.
