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.

12 oz. bottle from General66. Thanks! Poured a dark yellow color, small white head that faded away surprisingly quickly. Lightly citrusy aroma. Citrus and some light wheat flavor, but nothing spectacular and a bit thin on the palate. A mediocre wheat.

Pours hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is malted wheat and a hint of spice. Taste is wheat and sweet citrus. Not the best but decent, not a Hefe for sure.

I absolutely hated this beer. There was no head. It looked like carbonated apple juice. Virtually no aroma. Tasted like water with a nasty sweetness. Bad.

Pours a nice, slightly hazy gold with a little white head that’s gone quickly. Smells nice, sweet wheat i suppose maybe a little citrus even in the nose. Good initial citrus, orangey flavor. Pretty week, leaves nothing on the back end.

Nose of sweet grain, and a tad bit of the spicy stuff (hops). Pours a sparkling straw. The fully lasting uber creamy white head leaves good lace. The brew starts and ends well balanced with the smallest hint of wheat. Their is a light acidic bite in the middle. The finish is brief, overall fairly bland. The light body is creamy and lively with the slightest bit of metallic feel to the finish.

BMan1113VR (6146) - Los Angeles, California, USA - FEB 29, 2008
Not great. Wheat, orange and slightly eau d’skunk. Pours with an average sized, frothy, white head that goes away. Slightly hazy orange hue. Slightly sour finish to the taste, pretty basic. Watery mouthfeel, pretty fizzy.

marcus (3776) - Sacramento, California, USA - FEB 22, 2008
This light blonde ale poured with a few bubbles, no head and a faint wheat aroma. There is a brief taste of citrus, a carbonated mouthfeel and a very skunky finish.

Wheat aroma backed by a hint of citrus; sort of dusty. Hazy pale golden color with a fizzy white head that left immediately. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. There are citrus tones along with wheat. It ends with a bit of citrus sour. Didn’t get banana. Didn’t get spice. That aside it’s a fairly decent drink. Heck, it’s closer to Wit than a Hefe.
