kind of boring, not even the wheat could kick it out of it’s slumber. fine with food, but that’s not a complement.

Wow, I thought it was a lot better than the rest of you. A good amount of yeast in the bottom with a nice whip of citrusy notes. Not much of a head. Of course it does not campare with Paulaner or franziskaner but definitely better than many American hefe-weizens.

Obvious wheat content but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a heffe. Very bland. Interesting yeast notes, almost no wheat.

Nothing spectacular, but not a bad quaff.

Had a strange cheezy smell, like sharp cheddar which was interesting. The hazy off-orange color was actually quite appealing. Ended really hoppy, but with a wheat feel to it, interesting again. Nice crisp and light feel overall. Good for a change.

A rather blase’ wheat. Slightly unbalanced/undeveloped, but still refreshing and very drinkable.

A disappointment from Redhook, probably the worst hefe I’ve ever tried. You know that bad sour smell in a lot of hefes that you forgive because it doesn’t carry into the taste? Well, it does in this one.
