Surprised I haven’t rated this before I pulled this one out of a case of Summer Sampler. Pours light yellow with some haze. Head disappeared quickly, but like all other beers in this sampler, appears to have good lacing. Tart finish, but not as zesty as the Summer Ale. Citrus and yeast in the flavor. Palatable, but not great.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Transparent, golden. Looks more like a krystalweissen. Head is meringue-like and long lasting. There’s heavy lemon in the aroma, almost resembling the lemon flavouring in cheap lambic ales. A bit sour, not pleasantly so. Also, there’s some candy sugar or thick icing: strongly aromatic. I taste very sour citrus; it is incredibly lemony with some faint hints of lemon rind. Thin. The sourness is not particularly appealing.

Sep 25, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, pale yellow-gold with a white head. smell was hard to discern as it wasn’t strong or distinct. Almost like a lager mixed with wheat smell. Taste was rather bland, actually. Slightly fruity. Mouthfeel was medium-to-thin and carbonated. No big deal.

Sep 22, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Kinda thick looking hazy orange pour. Strong grain and wheat aroma with some caramel notes. Kind of an odd butterscotch-fruity taste. Medium body.

Sep 22, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a dirty looking cloudiness. Aromas not very powerful but smells refreshing. Sweet refreshing taste. Real good. I’m not a Hefe guy but this is one of my more favorites.

Sep 19, 2008 Very disappointed in this effort. Aroma had sort of a stale scent that reminded me of the next morning. It also was not as murky as most of this style. There are better hefeweizens and better Sam Adams to spend your money on.
