2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 zebracakes (1340) - Washington DC, USA - JUN 16, 2006
Bottle @ D’s 6 packs, PGH, PA. Pours hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is malt, citrus, and spices. Flavor is wheat and citrus, but as my friend said when sipping it, "This tastes like cleaner."
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 1/20 garrison (652) - Cin. city, Ohio, USA - JUN 13, 2006
From a bottle purchased at the Green Township "Krogers" - Pours a yellow , effervescent liquid with... wait... Where TF is the banana smell? The clove smell?
Bleach! Tastewise... this is watery crap posing as a hefe... avoid it folks, unless you’re seriously looking for a lightweight lager posing as a hfeweizen!
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 eaglefan538 (2726) - Wilmington, Delaware, USA - JUN 12, 2006
For a quick and cheap take on the style, this one works. Not sure why it isn’t considered a hefe. Sure, it is weak in appearance (only slightly cloudy), mouthfeel (pretty thin for the style), and flavor (a little watered down, some bananas, but very low spicing), but it was enjoyable overall, rather refreshing. Aroma was weak, some citrus and grainy malts. Boring if you’re looking for a great hefe, but this was an ok beer, definitely not like an American Wheat.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Poobah (164) - New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - JUN 11, 2006
Banana peel and lemon aroma. You need to swirl the beer first or you don’t smell the banana very much. Good head retention. Some lacing. Light honey color with hazy unfiltered appearance .Sweet flavor. Malty mouthfeel. Very smooth and well balanced. I could easily drink a six pack on a hot day.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 WarFockewulf (21) - Douglasville, Georgia, USA - JUN 4, 2006
Great american wheat beer. Good for hot days and doing yardwork. I have to pace myself, because these go down so smoothly, then I forget about the yardwork.
Great cloudy appearance and goes great with a lemon.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 DrBayern (1139) - Morehead City, North Carolina, USA - JUN 4, 2006
The expoected hazy light gold, but the head is much smaller than what I’m used to with a hefeweizen. Bananna, wheat, and bready yeast on the nose. Maybe a little thinner than it should be, but clean and light with some citrus and light fruity esters. The finish is lightly bitter, with a bit of a metallic aftertaste. Somewhat understated hefeweizen for my tastes.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 jrmac (320) - South Carolina, USA - JUN 1, 2006
One of my favorite beers on tap. It is easily the best american made hefe on the market in South Carolina. This stuff sells so good on tap our local tap room can’t keep up with demand. Very good and unbeatable for the price.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Redoubt (7) - Sin City, Alabama, USA - JUN 1, 2006 does not count
A rather primitive… but sure enough hypnotic brew. It starts a little rough but finishes in pretty good shape... and this leaves you wondering what might be in it to change your mind.
The aroma is not overbearing, the taste is acceptable and the after flavor seems to migrate out of your mouth by the time you close out your initial contract.
For a Texas product, it is comparatively good.
