3.97/5  rDev +9.7%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Sampled at the Citrus Park Mall in Tampa, FL.

Appearance: Hazy yellow-gold. Big bubbles. Bright white head drops readily. Actually looks more like a Belgian wit than a Bavarian hefeweizen.

Smell: Sulphur. Yeast. Mild citrus-like fruitiness. Low level basic maltiness.

Taste: Sweet malt that's just a touch wheaty. Lemon. Low level bitterness. It's not at all complex, but very refreshing.

Mouthfeel: Light body. Crisp.

Drinkability: It's not the banana and clove that's usually found, which leaves it fairly unique (not that you can't find hefeweizens that utilize this yeast, but they're not as common). Quite refreshing and tasty. Very drinkable.

Poured from a growler into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer is very hazy orange-yellow color with a tall billowy white head. The head has a great level of retention, slowly fading over time to leave a little bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is very strong of a wheaty smell mixed with a decent showing of an orange zest and some hay, along with a odd somewhat soapy like aroma ( I know its not the glass it was freshly washed. There is a little bit of a clove and coriander smell there as well giving a soapy hefe smell overall.
Taste – The tastes begins with a moderately strong wheat bread taste that is mixed with a sweeter orange and tangerine taste as well as a touch of a candied sugar like flavor and a bit of a clove taste. As the taste advances the wheaty tastes get slightly lighter while the sweet gets stronger. At the same time a little bit of coriander joins a bit of an increase in the clove and with a touch of a grass and hay, and leaves one with a sweet, but pleasant moderately wheaty and lightly spiced hefe taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is somewhat thicker and chewier with a carbonation level that is on the average side. For the sweeter tastes and easy drinking flavors the feel is great and makes for a nice easy sipper overall.
Overall – A very easy drinking hefe overall. A little on the sweeter side, and a little lighter on the wheat and spice, but very flavorful and pleasant.

tap at the Pittsburgh location

Pours a cloudy banana yellow with a white ring of carbonation.

Smells of bananas, coriander, and lemon citrus.

Flavor of citrus, lemongrass, and banana esters over sweet bready malt.

Light body with a tingle of carbonation on the roof of the mouth.

Surprisingly good hefe. Much better than I was expecting. If you like hefes, this is definitely worth trying.

This is a great Hefeweizen from BJ's Brewhouse. Light malt with crisp taste and finish. Not too heavy, compliments well with a meal.
