Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat Hefeweizen

355 ml bottle. cloudy orange beer. weizen are not my favorit beers. the wheat taste is not my kind of beer.

Pretty standard, if unexceptional wheat beer. Banana and wheaty spice in aroma, more of the same in the flavor. Maybe a little maltier than the standard Hefe. Pretty decent brew.

Pours an opaque honey-golden with a thick, white, fine-bubbled head that sticks around for a while. Aroma is rich and wheaty with a definite citrus component. Flavor is rich and full, wheaty and malty. This wheat beer is pleasant, refreshing and smooth, and feels thick.

Pours a hazy golden color with a smallish white head, nothing like the massive head you see on traditional German hefe’s. It has a a fairly standard wheat taste; some fruits (banana especially) and some maltiness as well. This quite a good Hefeweizen, a little different from the standards like Paulaner, but still just as good.

Never had a wheat beer before. This is definitely an acquired taste. Bought a six pack a week ago and finished the last three bottles after working in my garden all day. Poured a slightly cloudy coppery color with a nice aroma. The aftertaste took a little getting used to, I am partial to stouts and porters. I may rerate this beer after trying another Hefeweizen. Worth a try!

So.. After almost a year of great beers, I have to lower my initial score of this beer. When I first tried this, I was very new to the craft beer scene, and I’ve since had a lot of top notch brews. This is still really good, just not as good as more authentic hefe’s. Cheers!

I am a fan of wheat beer, so when I had the opportunity to try this one I was quite excited. Somewhat similar to Leinenkugel’s sunset wheat in taste. Mild citrus notes with a definitive wheat aftertaste that diminishes quickly. Overall not bad, but I would not buy again.

wow. i usually dont like the stuff that Flying Dog has come out with, so i approached this one with a good bit of trepidation. boy, they make some crappy stuff, but this beer was a pleasant surprise. pours dark gold with some retaining lacy head. smell is strong of breadiness and citrus, some grassyness. taste at first is fairly clean without the overt hoppiness of most of their brews. light and lemony. then after a few seconds on the palette, suddenly a wave of spice and fruit hits your taste buds. not sure if was a random thing or what, but it was quite impressive. not a normal hefe, but an interesting beer nonetheless.
