THOUGHTS: Not very good. Not awful, just nothing special, plus poor marketing in call itself a hefeweizen. It reminds me of a good weizen that’s been watered down.
TECHNCIAL: Bottle. Poured a cloudy light orange to dark yellow with nice carbonation, small body particles of a thin density and a small, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was light to moderate yeast, orange and wheat. The initial flavor was light to moderately acidic; while the finish was lightly sweet and bitter, moderately acidic and bitter with an average to short duration. There was orange, wheat and a little yeast, but very watery. The light to medium body was sort of syrupy then dry with soft carbonation and a light astringent finish.

Oct 5, 2008 Draught. Light and airy, wheat malt and .-like yeast aromas. Grainy and wheaty flavor with some modest bitterness and low hop flavor. Dry, with a thin and prickly texture. This isnt the best Hefeweizen and is mediochre at best. l

Sep 23, 2008 Draught. Some tart wheat malt and B.O.-like yeast aromas. Grainy and wheaty flavor with some modest bitterness and low hop flavor. Pretty dry, with a thin and prickly texture. This is far from a hefeweizen, and is pretty mediocre for an american wheat as well.

Sep 20, 2008 [1647-20080902] Tap. Watery malted applesauce aroma. Very murky, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting foamy white head and some spotted lacing. Some grainy fruit and generic yeast and old beer in the flavour. Medium body. Fairly bland.

Sep 17, 2008 Average wheat beer with a mild taste. Almost like a light version of a wheat beer with hints of fruit and spice.

Sep 15, 2008 Pours a cloudy gold color with a foamy white head. Aroma of wheat, banana and citrus. Flavor is mostly unfiltered wheat, watery, easy drinking. Not a bad hefe, but a little understated as far as flavor is concerned for my taste.
