Pretty decent Hefe with hazy pour. Not so much citrus. Pretty well balanced white.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottle pours a hazy yellow golden body. Wheaty with notes of citrus and banana. Light yeasty spices and vanilla. Short and sweet.
