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.

Bottle. Cloudy, golden color with a fizzy white head. Smells of wheat, yeast, sweet malt, and citrus. Tastes of malt, yeast, citrus, and spice. Nice hoppy finish. Great on a hot day.

Cloudy straw color, with a decent citrus aroma. Very drinkable...not the most complex flavors but I have had much blander hefeweizens. Not nearly as bad as its rating may imply.

Cloudly golden pour with traditional Hefe moderate white head. Fruity aroma is slighly overpowered by lemon and wheat scents. A bit overcarbonated, this beer is nonetheless pleasant to drink, albeit I’d rather have it when its 90F instead of 0F! On a side note, this was somewhat harsh for a Hefe, as I’m definitely partial to smooth wheats

Draft at Fox & Hound Ft Worth. A decent American hefe, but was overall unimpressive.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy light golden color, with a big head and high carbonation. Aroma is pungent, almost a skunky smell. I was surprised by the taste, especially after what I smelled. I can taste orange, lemon, and some mild spice (corriander). Like most, excuse me...I mean ALL Shiner beers are very watered down, they really have no complexity. Too bad, this beer had the makings of a potentially decent beer.

My dad bought this one for me and i kind of ripped on him and made fun of it, but this was actually not to bad. Very drinkable and only mild esters coming through. There was actually some yeast in the flavor too which i have never really seem from a microbrewery that is this large. If i am ever looking for an american wheat to drink on a hot summer day (which i never am) I might think about trying this again.
