cazort (340), San Diego, California, USA May 16, 2008 (Bottle) This was fairly heavy and rich for a Hefeweizen, but overall, pretty good and indicative of the style. I liked it a fair amount. It was fresh and there was no objectionable sourness...so perhaps the other reviewers would benefit from getting a fresher batch. Not terribly complex, but still an above-average beer, especially among beers of this style to come from American brewers.
HighlanderOne (453), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA Aug 9, 2008 Poured from bottle. Light golden, cloudy, , coarse white head. Malty aroma with a bit of gas. It’s got wheat and yeast alright, but needs more. Citrus notes in aftertaste. Finished well. Not bad. Skeegle (312), USA Aug 9, 2008 Your standard hefeweizen. If that’s a good thing for you then you’ll like this beer I guess. It had a nice fruitiness that I couldn’t put my finger on, perhaps like lemon, not really citrussy orange or lime, but some lemon. Very spritey and bouncy palate, with a thin body that make it easy to drink. I’d like to mow my lawn to one of these. Nice and refreshing, but obviously not the most class beer you could hope to find. Hey, I still liked it. tagz (304), USA Aug 3, 2008 bottle. pours slightly hazy light gold. lasting head. dominant flavor is the banana and bubblegum yeast. dry finish. high carbonation level. decent for the style. not as cloudy or complex as some, but good. JohnQPublic (147), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark yellow, with a fluffy white head. Aroma is banana, bit of spicy yeast. Taste is wheat at thfront, not quite as crisp and clean as it could be - spicy yeast and banana showing up at the very beginning as well. Banana isn’t dominant, but does taste a bit artificial. Finish is fairly clean, a bit spicy. Mouthfeel is fairly creamy, medium to a bit heavier than medium bodied, moderate carbonation. doogie (24), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2008 Lt amber, cloudy, with a white head. A light aroma of yeast and spice. The taste had some banana and vanilla with hints of citrus but was not very complex. I thought this was an OK wheat beer.
