COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Shiner Hefeweizen (Hef-ay-vite-zen) is a classic unfiltered Bavarian-style wheat brew. Once poured into a glass, the distinctively cloudy Shiner Hefeweizen delivers a fresh, satisfying flavor from start to finish.

Sweet aroma, small creamy head, but flat taste, cannot really taste the citrus or the honey, would not drink it again unless I was stranded on a desert island with nothing else to drink, a bit disappointing from Shiner,,,,wheat or weak brew

A very slight hint of orange detectable. Poured a cloudy golden color with a full head. A light beer with hints of orange.

Pours a cloudy light gold with a foamy white head. The aroma is very yeasty with a light citrus smell. The taste is fairly thin, but not bad, with small wheat and orange flavors. A drinkable hefeweizen, but not one of the most memorable.

Ooo pours a hazy yellow color with a thin white head. Smells pretty awful actually. Like spoiled grapes. Taste is a bit like cardboard and spoiled grapes. Don’t like at all.

womencantsail (3572) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - SEP 4, 2011
A: The pour is a very pale, hazed golden color with a quickly vanishing white head. S: Smells mostly of lemon and orange with some orange peel aroma in there as well. A light grassiness and some malt sweetness, maybe a little bit of yeast. No discernible banana or spice notes. T: Sweet and grainy with some mild wheat and bread flavor. Still heavy on the citrus and citrus peel flavor. A little bit of straw and grass flavor, but still no banana/spice character. M: Light to medium in body with a medium carbonation. O: Like most Shine beers, not something that’s worth having twice.

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - SEP 4, 2011
12 oz. bottle from a mixed 12-pack. Pours a somewhat cloudy yellow-gold with a fairly thick, fizzy eggshell white head. Notes of wheat, pale malts, lemon citrus peel, grass, and cereal. Light-bodied, with medium carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel. Not a whole lot going on in this one, and definitely not a hefeweizen. Decent summer wheat ale, though.

wmubronco1992 (396) - Coldwater, Michigan, USA - SEP 3, 2011
Bottle. Poured a cloudy light honey color. Tiny white head. Very mild orange aroma. Flavor of wheat and citrus. Mild pate. Not a bad beer, easy drinking, but not necessarily memorable.

johnnyoski (287) - Macomb, Michigan, USA - AUG 7, 2011
Bottle from Family Pack. Pours a cloudy, light tan color with a small white head. Light aroma of lemon zest and grass. Faint sweet and sour citrus flavors with a wit, malty backing. Watery texture with above average carbonation. Bland compared to some of the better hefes out there but this is surprisingly drinkable and refreshing.
