Nasty. Tastes like equal part watered-down wheat beer, lemon juice, and ass sweat. Do not like.

Pours a somewhat hazy straw yellow with a nice thick white head. Aroma is strong and wheaty with a dominating citrus component, mainly lemon. Flavor is fairly typical of a wheat beer and has a nice lemony overtone. Texture is smooth, just a little bit on the watery side.

Off-wheat nose and flavor. Yeasty and acidic flavor. Thin and almost sour. Not good... This would have been a drain pour if I hadn’t been at a friend’s house.

Bottle. Lightly hazy dark straw color, sparse, loose-bubbled white head. Pretty citric aroma, lighter Belgian yeast notes, mostly citric. Taste follows suit, being quite citric, no spice on the back end. Not a big hefe fan, but this is a pretty ham-fisted and simple attempt at one.

Bottle. Pours the standard hazy hefe honey color with a one finger white head that faded fast. Nose is sweet wheat, spice and a touch of citrus. Taste is more wheat, some light spice and mild citrus with a touch of sour in the finish. Really thin mouth feel. Not a huge hefe fan, but I’ve had far better.

Aroma has banana and bubble gum with a hint of spiciness. pours cloudy yellow with decent sized whte head. flavor is fruity with a lot of citrus on the back of the tongue. medium bodied. an alright beer.

dark yellow in apperance, not as cloudy as most hefes. A bit more bitter than i perfer. Not my favorite hefeweizen but an ok beer.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yolk color with a large white head the quickly subsides. Has a nice taste of orange, lemon, wheat and honey. Has a very nice, refreshin mouthfeel and is very easy to drink. Aroma is much the same, but isn’t as nice. Not a bad beer, as it is refreshing and enjoyable. Not bad to have every once in a while.
