(on draught at brewery) Nice color and taste. This beer was a tad bit too cold upon tasting, which suppressed much of the aromas and taste. Nice cloudy appearance and clean taste.

Spicy clove and banana peel. Hazy yellow. Frothy small head. Pleasantly good. Flavors are very nice. Body is a little light. Probably my second favorite American hefe so far. Hard to find one with nice eatery flavors this has them, just a little bit weak overall palate.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can obtained through trade with Watson1977 and poured into a weizen glass. Pours translucent orange with small white head which dissapates fairly quickly. No lacing, medium body, syrupy texture, and fruity aroma. Taste is clove, banana, bubblegum. Thank you Watson1977 this is a good hefe.

Nicely done. Pours hazy yellow. Aroma of banana and spices. More banana and cloves in taste, crisp finish. Goes great with my salad.

Can. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of banana, wheat, cloves and yeast. Flavor was wheaty and yeasty with banana, cloves, a hint of orange and had a touch of tartness.

Pours a hazy orange amber with a thick off white head. Aroma has some orange and banana notes...hint of spice. Flavor is wheaty with notable orange...spice creeps in. Mouthfeel is medium/full and creamy with an earthy/spicy slightly dry finish.

It's about what I expected for a non-craft beer made by Anheiser Busch. You won't be surprised, but you won't be let down either. It tastes like a weisse. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

One of the last remnants from a trip to central Pennsylvania I split with tastybeer. It wasn’t a bad hefeweizen but in the end is average to slightly below average. If it were my local I’d probably drink it. However I won’t be going out of my way to get many more Sly Fox offerings as a result.

Aroma / Appearance - A cloudy orange body possesses a bubbly fringe of gentle head. Orange, cheesecake glaze, and lemons merge into a dry nose that lingers idly.

Flavor / Palate - Honeys and oranges hang on the tongue. Sweet traces of syruppy malts slip towards a light finish. Overall this does not have the punch I expect of a standard hefe. Regardless it was not hard to drink the rest of the pour. I won’t be picking this up again if it ever hits the area (unlikely anyways).

Can, courtesy Brigadier, thanks! Hazy gold pour, bubbly white head, little retention/some lace. Aroma is wheat malt, bubblegum, banana, light grass. Taste is lightly sweet, wheat, banana, bubblegum. Palate is soft, a bit slick, clean finish. Good.

Draft. Has a fantastic unfiltered golden haze. Thick lasting head in a standard pint glass. Plenty of lacing. Nose is what I look for in a hefeweizen. Yeast, clove and banana. The fuller body gives me flavors of oranges, yeast, clove banana and plenty of German yeast. Also has a light spice to it with a mild tart note. This a great example of the style. I wanted to try this for awhile, it did NOT disappoint me.

12oz can from Pinocchio’s. Pours a cloudy, light amber color with a white head. Aroma is bubble gum, banana, and a little clove. Medium on the palate with light carbonation. Flavor is sweet, yeasty, wheat, bubble gum, a little grass, with a light, sweet finish. A tasty wheat beer.
