Score: *4

Generally not bad. Steers towards a fruity hefeweitzen, pleasant but nothing exciting.

Pours a hazy pale orange body with a small white head. Grassy and lemony aroma with a hint of white pepper. Tastes tart and lemony with some wheat cracker and yeast notes. Tastes like a decent pale wheat ale.

Very bland offering from Magic hat. the beer has a straw like taste and i did not find it very refreshing.

(Bottle) Pours a hazy dark yellow color, with a decent white head. Dusty, grassy aroma... with light citrus and some spice as well. Taste is very similar, with more citrus than you would typically find in a hefeweizen. Light body. Seems like a perfect lawnmower beer to me.

Yellow cloudy color there’s no foam at all. Citrus and banana aroma. There’s too much acidity in this beer.

12 oz bottle. Cloudy creamsicle orange with just a film of head. Aroma is hay, sweet citrus, banana and clove. Flavour is interesting and fairly mild. Lemongrass is very up front. The flavours from the aroma are there as well, although the banana is pushed to the background. Crisp, but a little thin. Not bad.

Pours a hazy deep golden with little to no head. What is revealed is nothing but a white ring. Aroma is interesting fruity but actually kind of stinky and bitter. I hope I don’t have a bad bottle. On the bottle it says this thing is a hefe but now I see it is clasified as a spice/herb/vegetable beer. This stuff tastes weird. I don’t think this is a bad bottle, just a terrible attempt at a hefe. Hell, this is a terrible attempt at a beer. The spicy fruitiness of the classic hefe and banana flavors are all gone. There is a fruity flavors but it is surrounded by bitter and off flavors galore. This brewery is always a dissapointment and this beer is no different, DRAIN POUR this shit sucks.
