COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Classic wheat beer brewed by Americans in America using a German wheat yeast. 50% of the grain used is malted wheat designating it as a true “wheat” beer. This ale is also known as Hefeweizen. It’s golden in color and light and clean with esters of banana and clove compliments of its Bavarian DNA.

Bottle to tulip (shared with hhe Mrs.; thanks mikem409). Looks solid; a very slightly cloudy orange with white lacing. Smells and tastes sweet and wheaty with light banana and clove. Average on the palate. Not bad, but forgettable.

12oz bottle, thanks very much to mikem409 and hubsluvsbeer. Mildly hazy golden yellow color. Thin white head, few dots of lace. Light to medium body. Smooth, lighter, lightly soft carbonation. More dry in the finish. Good wheaty hefe flavor... Moderate banana, light vanilla, lighter spice... Moderate sweet taste, light spice to it. Good, satisfying light hefeweizen. Would be a great fit for cans. On the beach.

BlowOffTube (85) - Michigan, USA - JUN 13, 2013
Not what I was expecting. Smell of wheat orange and lemon and barely any head. Pours log a hazy orange which I was looking for more cloudiness. Taste is not like any wheat beer I’ve had. Sweet citrus, wheat, flatness that doesn’t deliver in any way. Glad I only grabbed 1 bottle.

ICEatALAMO (587) - Troy, Michigan, USA - JUN 9, 2013
Bottle. The pour has less haze than most wheat beers I have had. The aroma has a nice sweet fruit smell to it. The taste is good, with some typical bitterness to it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap at Churchkey for CBC thanks to nmann08 and nimbleprop. Pours a low haze straw. Medium white foam. Nose is heavy esters, pear, yellow apple, some Abbey Tripel character. Yeast driven. Taste is yellow apple, butter, vanilla, soap. Hydrogen peroxide body, unpleasant butteriness.
