3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A typical hefeweizen. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Citrus in the aroma. Highly carbonated on the palate. Smooth and tasty. A mild hefe, however, not a lot of spice. Easy drinking.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Subdued aroma of sweet corn. Cloudy honey gold color, medium head. The flavor is mildly sweet blend of grain and hops, lagerish, and rather unimaginative. Curious vegetable finish, like cauliflower and hops, not strong. Kind of a drab hefe. The Shiner black lager was much better.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Heavily carbonated yellow body with faint white head. Watery wheat nose. Watery body with a faintly sour wheat taste.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a cloudy yellow, a lemongrass smell, sweet citrus taste finish’s crisply. A beer I will enjoy again
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured dirty blondish. Maybe unfair to rate appearance that low since I haven’t had to many of this kind, however doesn’t look refreshing. The taste on the otherhand was refreshing, very good summer ale with the lemon hints. This will be a repeat through the summer months out onthe patio relaxing with Franki. thanks to a member of the 700 club (soon to be) for the hook-up

5/14/07: Bottle.
Bright golden cloudy body with a white head. Nose of summer wheat and grass. Flavor is yeastie and breadie with tones of lemon and orange peel. Very smooth finish with some added bread. Yeast was agitated.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Rated 12/27/05: Best served in a tall glass with a slice of lemon. Be sure to agitate the yeast. Good all year round with an amazingly clean finish. The awesome bottle label is the icing on the cake 4/18/06 Revisited this review after a recent sampling. I still really enjoy this beer. The citrus notes and overall flavor are different from traditional hefeweizen’s. I like how this one is distinctive and it is a very good American take on a traditional Bavarian style.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
New to the Chicago area, this Texan Hefe pours a well-hazed, golden/amber with persistent carbonation and sandy particulate under a long-lasting, creamy white head. Some funky oddities in the aroma do not completely dissipate off a grassy, wheaty, lemony base. Creamy mouthfeel with a flavor that is tart and wheat-laden. Aftertaste lingers thick and sour. Gassy. For a "Hefeweizen" I think I’ll stick with the Germans.
