(Served in an weizen glass)
A- This beer has a light hazy golden body which gets hazier with each glass. There is a big carbonation of big bubbles and an off-white head that is spongy and last a good bit.
S- The soft smell of white bread and fresh pale malt finishes with a nice soft green bitterness. There are some very subtle bubble-gum hints and some dry spice that enhances the hop hints.
T- This beer has a nice flavor of light pale malt with some biscuit notes followed by a soft pine bitter hint in the finish. There is a nice dry spice note that increases and compliments the hops.
M- This beer has a full mouthfeel with a zingy fizz finish.
D-I wouldn’t typically buy a beer with an old woman in a tracksuit on the front but I was very surprised. The flavor is light but has some nice subtle depth. The fresh malt flavors really balance the soft green bitterness. I don’t find many wheat beers that I would consider session beers but this is definitely one of them.

05/14/14 On tap. Not your Mom's heffe by any stretch of the imagination. The presence of ginger bends to the east of the refresh heading my mind was set for. It slips by the nose detection system & even evades the taste buds but gets all the way to the back palate then thumbs it's nose over the shoulder...like a gatecrasher that's the other side of the barricade. Merely worth a shrug & a wait & see to find what may be added to the party. IMO, not much. In fact it may be adding to a cloying aftertaste that detracts from the usual refreshment I get from straight up heffes. Going rougue, in this case, got a bit off the reservation...but perhaps that's their point. In conclusion, this did grow on me...but then again so does moss, where the sun don't shine.
