great look in a weizen glass alround retention is good mild misty orange pour aroma wheat some spice and malt bright aromas flavour sweet malt some clove fruit taste citrus lemon orange very smooth weizen finish smooth spice fruit sweet mild bitter good flavour

One of the best from Flying Dog, IMO. I like the fruity sweetness it offers, and agree it tastes more Belgian at first than typical Hefeweizen. A good summer brew.

Aroma is of citrus and wheat. Pours cloudy yellow with a white head disappears quickly. Tastes of orange, banana, and corriander. This tastes more like a belgian (and not a very good one at that) than a hefeweizen.

Pours cloudy yellow with off white head. Aomas of sweet fruit and wheat. Lots of yeast flavor and fruitiness. Pretty sweet. Medium body with soft carbonation.

In a bottle out of a mixpack. I didn’t think it tasted at all like a Hefeweizen, much more in the Belgian realm. Personally that’s a major plus; I wasn’t expecting to like it much. If you’re going in expecting/wanting a straight hefeweizen, go elsewhere. If you are looking for a cheap solution for a Belgian fix, give it a shot. I’ll come back to this one. re-rate, same batch: When poured into a glass vs in bottle, much more Hefeweizen character - which knocks it down a couple points for personal preference.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are mild yeast, malt, hops and notes of citrus.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow colour with a thin offwhite head. Aroma and taste of sweet banana, orange and a tiny bit coriander. Fresh but watery. I prefer bavarian versions of hefeweizen.

Nothing spectacular, fizzy head with yellow-amber color, tastes of fruit. A tad generic.
