Pours clear yellow body, long fizzy white half finger head, quickly dies, lotsa carbonation rising, smell nothing much-slight wheat, no yeast like true hefe, taste just wheat and malts, no yeast, palate - light, carbonation felt, watery finish, overall - not a true hefe, but hey not bad to me, probably have again only in summer months

bottle at home ... golden yellow ... thin white head ... soft orange ... light banana nose ... fizzy ... dry zezty banana... long dry finish ... ok

Poured from a bottle. Cloudy pale yellow color, minimal head and decent lacing. Hint of wheat aroma but not overpowering. Taste isn’t bad, but isn’t really in lin with other beers in this class. Very drinkable, certainly not as full bodied as normal hefeweizen’s. Wont be on my list to buy again.

I don’t really understand how this is a hefeweisen. I see its listed as a wheat beer here which makes more sense. Aroma was fairy unimpressive with very little spice. Tastes weird and not what I was expecting. It might be better than I’m rating it is just different from what I’m expecting.

Draught at Fox and Hound Richardson. Faint wheat aroma. Poured a cloudy golden yellow color with a nice white top and decent lacing. Taste isn’t as powerful as I would have hoped, faint clove, banana and orange peel.

I will agree that there isn't anything over the top about this beer. It's a mild hef that's easy to drink, and quite tasty. Cloudy yellow pour, minimal head. Nose of the usual banana, citrus, and spice. Wheat, malt. Lighter than normal palate, but I wouldn't call it thin or bland. I would certainly buy this one again. Seems like a great beer to have after mowing the lawn. -Fish!

Cloudy: check. Portland: check. So non-descript that even their website suggests putting a lemon wedge in the glass: check. However, you have to give them credit for practically single-handedly introducing wheat beer to the masses.

Hazy with nice head. Coriander on the nose, but the taste was undefined excepting some standard wheat bite.

UPDATED: MAR 22, 2013 Golden orange pour with a medium white head. Lively carbonation. Mild wheat taste with a hint of citrus and banana.

Pours a hazy yellow with thin head. Nice wheat beer with a citrus taste and a light finish.
