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.

Not a great Hef by any means. Not true to the style. However the brew pulls it off and is very drinkable. Refreshing beer with a smack of honey that hits the palate.

Slight wheat, sourish, and slightly phenolic nose. Appearance is slightly too clear. Decent flavor profile, slightly bitter for the style. Notes of grass, white weat, and pale barley malt. Thin body. Overall more drinkable than I make it sound. A little off from style, and better hefes can be had, but it is a successful thirst quencher for those hot summer days.

From a bottle poured a hazy golden color with lots of head. Nice flavor citrus/hoppy with a good finish, very refreshing.

Aroma has hint of citrus and hops. Flavor is extremely muted, tastes a lot like a watered down American light beer.

alexanderj (2830) - Gilbert, Arizona, USA - APR 17, 2008
On draft; poured a strange darkish gold; not much head. Not much aroma; some wheat/citrus/coriander. Flavor was similar; seemed a bit restrained/watery/filtered. Not bad, but a below average version of the style for me.

zombywoof (418) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - APR 13, 2008
UPDATED: APR 15, 2008 Orange yellow color and cloudy. Aroma of orange and spice. Some spicey flavor-not much banana at all...citrus and some yeastiness. A little watered down and too spritzy. Seems unbalanced towards the citrusy and spicey end and not enough banana, cloves that I associate with good Hefes Ehhh.

SpudClampDawg (1029) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - APR 6, 2008
12oz bottle: Even after swirling the yeast into the glass, this beer still remains fairly clear with a skim thin head on top. The aroma is slightly wheaty with a lemon tartness on top. The tartness continues in the body, which makes me think this has gone a bit wild. The carbonation is spritzy, ruining what creamy wheat might be there. The malts are blah throughout, offering little to the lemony overtones. Even though this is drinkable, it is a very poor example of the style.
