Bottle poured from a Penn variety pack. I was pretty disappointed with this one, since I love the wheats and also like the Penns. Best way to describe it is to think of a good German wheat and imagine everything being a little less.

Tap at Brazen Head. Deep yellow gold beer, white head. Lovely aroma with loads of banana and light wheaty spice. A bit of lemony citrus as well. Nice creamy palate. Full-bodied with loads of wheaty character. Very fruity with a soft cloviness on the back. Another quality brew from Penn.

Really good Hefe by Penn. Measures up with some of the best. More balanced than most attempts. Really refreshing on a summer evening.

decent hefe, nothing special. doesn’t measure up to paulaner or ayinger, but what does? refreshing for a hot summer day.

Pours with a fairly thick, quickly shrinking head with little lace. Esters, bit of yeast and wheat in the aroma, tastes a bit of smoky clove especially in the finish, yeast, honey. Quite sweet for a weizen, not unpleasant. Smooth but fairly heavy body with high carbonation, making it not as lawnmower-y as some American hefes. Not bad, but carries the same steely profile as Penn’s other products.

Nicely cloudy orange, decent sized white head. Nice banana and clove aroma, mixed with some pineapple, too. Very "Wheaty" flavor. Pretty much delivers what it promises here. Solid, no surprises. Tasty.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, medium orange-golden color; enormous, off-white head with web-like lacing. Some cloves and doughy notes in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: cloves and a light ester presence upfront; average carbonation; slightly fluffy and uninspired in the mouth. Tastes kind of one-dimensional after the Wagner Valley Summer Sail. Medium, dry citrus and doughy finish.

Draught. Pours a cloudy golden orange body with nice head. Aroma is of spices, light citrus, bananas. Flavor is the same as above mentioned aroma. Nice blend of spices added with out being over done. I enjoyed the smoothness of this beer.
