Cloudy yellow with white foamy head. Wheat and fruit aroma. Crisp citrus flavor with very slight bannana taste that quickly disappears. Good hot summer day beer. Need to add the lemon wedge to this one.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy straw yellow, with a moderate head that dissipates quickly. A very attractive beer, actually. The aroma is weak, yeasty, bready, and somewhat metallic. The flavor is similarly unremarkable: very bready, with only slight notes of citrus, and few other discernible flavors. Fairly refreshing, but not an impressive beer by any stretch.

I was underwhelmed by this beer. It has a pretty nice aroma of banana, but it’s kind of thin, and the flavor isn’t as soft as I would want from a hefeweizen. Skip this and buy Franziskaner or Weihenstephaner.

Pours a hazy gold with a small head. Aroma is very light, bubblegum and citrus. Light sweet flavor.

Hazy gold pour. Big notes of lemon and bubblegum. Very refreshing, however it is a little thin

A hoppy lemony wheat bear. I haven’t had too many wheat beers that I’ve loved, but this was decent. Easy to drink. Nothing to omplain about, but nothing to brag about either
