Pours out a cloudly golden yellow with barely any white head. Not looking so great in this department.

Smell is pleasant, a lot of clove and lemony scents, and a tiny hop bit that comes through. Smell could be a little heftier, though.

Flavor is somewhat watery with lemony citrus, light clove, some banana, and a little hoppiness. Basically, it tastes just like it smells: someone bland with little bits of certain flavors watered down. Thin, fizzy carbonation.

Overall: I love a lot of beers in this style, but this one just doesn't have enough flavor to hold up to the better examples. Pleasant enough to drink, but there are much better choices.

Vibrant bright yellow pour, half inch of head, white, average retention. A little bit of lemon and wheat aroma, super minimized.

Wheat comes out more in the taste, but is still run of the middle pedestrian. Hopping is a tad above standard. Even some grainy banana. Can even pick up a neat twinge of tart lemon wheatness and metallic droppings.

Marketed as a HEFEWEIZEN, not an APWA.

Pours a pineapple/mango juice color with nearly 100% opacity. Hazy and translucent. The head starts off @ 2 fingers and then recedes to a creamy ring leaving hilly lace.

Smells like baby food puree, with slight baked malts and a cigarette-like aroma.

Quite a malty taste out front, with wheat and coriander, and then the dirty flavors surface - cigarette, burnt banana peel, mushy fruits. It seemingly suddenly evaporates. The finish/aftertaste is bland and flavorless.

Feel is super carbonated, but slightly creamy. It's not exactly sophisticated but does the trick.

Overall, this was another horrible Americanized Hefeweizen. Not as bad as some, but I hate these poor excuses for what should be an amazing style.
