Commercial Description:
M. T. Barrels’ Hefeweizen is a south German style of wheat beer which produces unique sweet flavors of banana, citrus & cloves, containing often dry and tart edges, some spiciness, bubblegum or notes of apples, with little hop bitterness and a moderate level of alcohol. The "Hefe" prefix means "with yeast," hence the beers unfiltered and cloudy appearance.

Beer came from the tap to the table with no head, golden/orange color and a light/medium cloudy appearance. Aroma is very faint of clove and bananas definitely not like other beers of this style. Flavor reflects the aroma with a slight clove taste leading the way and ending with a very light banana flavor. Overall an ok offering but wish for a more carbonation, more cloudiness and a little more of the characteristic Hefe banana/clove combo flavor.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a foamy medium sized head of fine to medium sized white colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a transparent uncarbonated orange colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was of banana and malt. The mouth feel was nice and semi thick with a mild tingly. The sweet flavor was of banana and malt.

On tap, simply labeled as "Hefeweizen." Clear (with a capital C) golden with a medium-white head that is mostly diminishing. Really light honey aroma. Straw flavor, period. I kept asking myself where all the cloves and banana were. What a non-descript, bland hefe.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in West Dundee, Illinois. Cloudy, light orange pour with a thick, foamy white head, orange and grapefruit in the nose, very clovey and spicey throughout, citrusy and sweet but tapers into a sour finish that was unappealing. A decent training wheels hefe.
