pamoja (57), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 6, 2007 Pretty decent Hefe with hazy pour. Not so much citrus. Pretty well balanced white.
lithy (385), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 21, 2008 Slight hazy yellow honey color with a thick finger of tight white head with a decent sheet of lacing stuck to the glass. Weak aroma, lemon zest, light wheat malt, some yeasty spice. Taste is sort of metallic grains, a tinge of citrus, mostly lemon. mcox90 (395), Wilton, USA Nov 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a pale lemon yellow with a small white head and a white ring of lace. Nose is faint wheat with lemon zest. Mouthfeel is a bit thin with a moderate amount of carbonation. Flavor is very weak wheat with other grains and a hint of lemon. Not really much of a hefe. No banana or clove flavors. I will say it was crisp, clean and refreshing. It came in a Harpoon Wintery 12 pack, but I would call it a great summer session beer. MrBunn (951), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light and hazy gold with a fluffy white head. Smells like one might expect… kind of a honey & lemon sweetness with a grassy backdrop. Flavor is adequate but not very interesting. There is a bit of a metallic edge to it that is distracting and the traditional hefeweizen flavors are a bit washed out and sweetened up. In summary, it is a pretty boring hefe with a couple of slight defects.
Butters (574), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Nov 19, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy light yellow with fair white head. Aroma is lightly wheaty with no real flaws but just bland. Flavor is a mix of sour lemon and sweet wheat. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a plain jane cardboard finish. Rciesla (1136), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 28, 2008 Bottle pours a hazy yellow golden body. Wheaty with notes of citrus and banana. Light yeasty spices and vanilla. Short and sweet.
